One of the surprising findings of the human genome project is that?
It is surprisingly that we only have 300,000 genes inside our body. The scientists also think that we have billions of genes.
What is a chrosmosomes?
inside nearly all human cells is a nucleus the nucleus contains instructions that control all human characteristics (genes) the instructions are carried on choromosomes. inside human cellsthere are 46 chrosmosomes.
Where is the human tongue found?
The human tongue is inside the mouth.
What is the biggest human bone?
It is femur found inside human's leg.
How does the number of genes found on a human genome compare to the number of genes on the genome of a fish or mouse?
Humans have around 20,000-25,000 genes in their genome, similar to that of a mouse. Fish species may have varying numbers of genes in their genome, but generally have a comparable number to humans and mice. There is significant overlap in the number of genes found in human, fish, and mouse genomes.
if zebra 19 age how about human?
Sequencing of the entire genetic make-up of the zebrafish has revealed that 70 per cent of protein-coding human genes are related to genes found in the zebrafish and that 84 per cent of genes known to be associated with human disease have a zebrafish counterpart.
Has a new influenza virus called Bat Flu been discovered?
Yes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just announced on February 27, 2012 that the first influenza virus found that is capable of infecting bats was just discovered in Guatemala in fruit bats. However, at present this is not a threat to humans and is undergoing extensive study to assure that it does not pose a future human health issue. Preliminary studies do indicate that the genes carried in the new virus would be compatible with the genes in human influenza viruses, but the bat virus would have to undergo significant changes to be able to mutate into a new human virus capable of causing human influenza. To reassort and become a threat to humans, it would first require that a third animal be susceptible to infection by both the new virus and a human influenza virus as well. If the third animal catches the new bat flu and would then at the same time be infected by a human influenza virus, then reassortant into a new virus capable of infecting humans could occur. However, it would require that a single cell of the third host animal would be infected simultaneously with the bat flu virus and a human flu virus. If two flu viruses are inside a host cell at the same tme, then the genetic material inside the two viruses could combine to form a new virus capable of infecting humans. This is how H1N1/09 first developed in pigs (see related question below). A link to the CDC site's article on the new bat virus is provided in the related links section of this question.
Where can cillia be found in human body?
inside the nose
How many genes are there in a human cells?
The human genome contains about 24,000 genes.
How many genes are there in an average human?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs are homologous (basically same shape) and the last pair is known as the X and Y sex-determining chromosomes. You were correct that 23 come from mom and the other 23 from dad. With regard to the question about genes, scientists finished sequencing the human genome in 2003. They found that the genome contained only 20,000-25,000 genes. You can read more about it if you search for human genome project on the net.
How many genes account for human height?
55 orthologous genes are associated with human height
What is the definition of the Swine Flu?
Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, Mexican flu and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV), that usually infect (is endemic in) pigs.[2] As of 2009 these strains are all found in Influenza C virus and the subtypes of Influenza A virus known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.[2] Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and properly cooked pork poses no risk of infection. When transmitted, the virus does not always cause human influenza and often the only sign of infection is the presence of antibodies in the blood, detectable only by laboratory tests. When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic Swine Flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. However, only about fifty such transmissions have been recorded since the mid-20th century, when identification of influenza subtypes became possible. Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contained genes most closely related to swine influenza.[3] The origin of this new strain is unknown. However, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs.[4] This strain can be transmitted from human to human,[5] and causes the normal symptoms of influenza.[6] Pigs can become infected with human influenza, and this appears to have happened during the 1918 flu pandemic and the 2009 flu outbreak.
