As humans seem to be the most complex and intelligent creatures, their genes simply must have been stronger (sarcasm on the last seven words). And so, once people understood how genes worked, they decided that humans would have more genes. Also, if genes are passed down from every generation to the next, then logic must make it that the oldest creatures would have the most, hence we should have more than a dog, a cat, a mouse, etc. (Domesticated animals have evolved to fit their masters' needs,) but much less than a cockroach, which is the oldest living creature on the planet.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Were scientists correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project Why or why not?
No,the scientists were not correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project because they had identified an estimated 30,000 genes (instead of the expected 100,000), constituting just 1% of the total human.
Why do scientists want to locate all genes on human chromosomes?
Knowing the location of all genes on human chromosomes allows scientists to better understand genetics, study how genes contribute to health and disease, and develop targeted therapies for genetic disorders. It also helps in mapping genetic variations within populations and aids in studying evolutionary relationships.
What a complete map of the human genes reveals?
A complete map of the human genes, also known as the human genome, reveals the entire genetic blueprint of a human being. This map provides insights into inherited traits, susceptibility to diseases, evolutionary history, and can inform medical research and personalized medicine efforts. It helps scientists study the function of genes, understand genetic disorders, and develop targeted therapies.
How many genes account for human height?
55 orthologous genes are associated with human height
How many genes did scientists expect to identify during the Human Genome Project?
40,000 genes
How many genes do scientists think human beings have?
30,000
What is the simple subject in the sentence By studying human genes scientists hope to learn more about how to prevent and cure hereditary disease?
Human Genes
Did scientists develop the first map of human genes at the beginning of the 21st century?
Yes it was.
Scientists have successfully transformed bacteria with human genes Describe one current use of the technology in medicine?
Human genes can be inserted into a bacteria and produce large numbers of human proteins on an industrial state!!
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
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.
Do scientist know the location of at the genes?
Yes, scientists have mapped the human genome, which includes the locations of genes on each chromosome. This information is freely available in databases such as GenBank and Ensembl. Scientists use this information to study the function of genes and their involvement in various diseases.
Were scientists correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project Why or why not?
No,the scientists were not correct in their estimate of how many genes would be identified during the human genome project because they had identified an estimated 30,000 genes (instead of the expected 100,000), constituting just 1% of the total human.
How long a human survive with thalassemia and with the recessive genes?
Those with thalassemia can expect to live until they are 50 or more.
Why is zebrafish used in scientific research?
Zebra fish are used in scientific research for finding the functions of genes n vertebrate. Scientists have learned that they can learn a lot about functions of human genes by examining the genes of simpler organisms.
Why do scientists want to locate all genes on human chromosomes?
Knowing the location of all genes on human chromosomes allows scientists to better understand genetics, study how genes contribute to health and disease, and develop targeted therapies for genetic disorders. It also helps in mapping genetic variations within populations and aids in studying evolutionary relationships.
