What goal of the human genome has been achieved?

To map & sequence all of the DNA base pairs of the human chromosomes.


What would happen in a human body that has lost its chromosomes at the the time a cell goes to divide as they do for repair and regeneration?

A single cell that lost it's genetic material would cease functioning. A human conceptus would not survive...an entire adult human body would certainly fail systematically as the cells divided and ceased to function.


Could you use human polymerase for the extension step in the PCR reaction?

Actually the problem with the Human polymerase is the sensitivity to temperature if we talk about PCR. That is the reason why we use Taq DNA polymerase which is thermostable where as use of human polymerase may result in loss of its function due to high temperature.


What unit measures radiation damage to human tissue?

The unit that measures radiation damage to human tissue is the Sievert (Sv). It takes into account the type of radiation, the amount of radiation absorbed, and the sensitivity of the tissue being exposed.


What is human leishmaniasis?

Human leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasites of the Leishmania genus, transmitted through the bites of infected sandflies. It can manifest as cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral forms, with symptoms ranging from skin ulcers to organ damage, and can be fatal if left untreated. Leishmaniasis is mainly found in tropical and subtropical regions, affecting millions of people worldwide each year.

What is the name of the project that sequenced genes?

The Human Genome Project mapped and sequenced the entire human genome.


What does culture sensitivity show?

Cultural sensitivity shows an unusual amount of compassion in human beings. A person is not naturally inclined to accept people that are different from them.


Are scientists done mapping out genes?

Scientists have mapped the whole human genome but are still mapping other species genomes such as mice and worms

Can neptune be seen with out a telescope at night?

No. Its brightness is below the limit of sensitivity for the unaided human eye.


Why it is advantageous to post the human genome on the Internet?

The human genome, mapped and ready for reference can be of great help to various biotechnologists and scientists around the world as it can help in their studies and research. Hence, it is advantageous to post the human genome on the Internet.


What is the meaning of organ sensitivity?

Organ sensitivity refers to how responsive an organ is to its environment or stimuli. It can vary depending on factors such as genetics, health, and external influences. High sensitivity may result in increased reactions to stimuli, while low sensitivity may lead to reduced responses.


Do people have the same smell sensitivity?

Yes they do, although a human's sense of smell is not nearly sharp enough to detect the differences all the time. Dogs, however, can.


What are the stats for anthrax?

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis and can present in three primary forms: cutaneous, inhalational, and gastrointestinal. According to the CDC, there are about 5 to 7 reported cases of human anthrax in the U.S. each year, mostly cutaneous. The mortality rate for untreated inhalational anthrax can exceed 85%, while cutaneous anthrax has a lower mortality rate of around 1% with proper treatment. Vaccination is available for at-risk populations, such as certain military personnel and laboratory workers.


What is the the only dry membrane?

What are the differences between human ear and a microphone?

The human ear converts sound waves into electrical signals that the brain interprets, while a microphone converts sound waves into electrical signals that can be amplified or recorded. The human ear can detect a wider range of sound frequencies and nuances compared to most microphones. Additionally, the human ear can adjust its sensitivity based on the volume of sound, while microphones typically have a fixed sensitivity level.


What has the human genome project discovered?

The human genome. Which means they have 'mapped' all the genes in the human body in all the chromosomes. However we don't know what they all do yet as that is a process which takes longer, but it has proved a big help in finding genes related to deformations and certain hereditary diseases.
