Story:”The Human Genome Project”
One of the most significant themes in "The Human Gonome Project" is the importance of analyzing DNA molecules in order to answer many questions about how genes function. Which of the following sentence from the text directly support this conclusion? Select three that apply.
•They then retrieved the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from these samples, which is found in the body’s 46 chromosomes.
•Scientists involved in the project have already finished mapping, or “sequencing”, DNA molecules, showing the location of genes.
•For instance, there is only a very small number of genes accountable for the difference in skin color.
•Because of the project, scientists have identified more than 1400 disease genes so far for such conditions as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and certain forms of colon and breast cancer.
•By studying how these genes work, medical reasearchers can try to improve treatments.
