Question

QUESTION 78 The principal goal of the Human Genome Project was to Create a map of the human genetic structure a. O Describe the relationship among gender differences b. Determine the impact of race upon health status Od. Determine the genetic correlates of Health disparity QUESTION 79 The findings of the Human Genome Project Was unable to unravel the relationship between genes and race a. b. Determined that genetic history determined health status Disputes the position of homogenous races C. d. Support the existence of homogeneous races

Answer 1

THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT IS A MEGA PROJECT LAUNCHED IN THE YEAR 1990. THE AIM OF HUMN GENOME PROJECT IS THE SEQUENCING OF HUMAN GENOME. IT WAS A 13 YEAR LONG PROJECT COORDINATED BY THE US DEPARTEMENT OF ENERGY AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH. DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF HUMAN GENOME PROJECT , WELCOME TRUST (UK) BECAME A MAJOR PARTNER , ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS CAME FROM JAPAN , FRANCE , GRMANY , CHINA AND OTHERS. THE PROJECT WAS COMPLETED IN 2003. KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF DNA VARATIONS AMONG INDIVIDUALS CAN LEAD TO EVOLUTIONARY NEW WAYS TO DIAGONOSE , TREAT AND SOMEDAY PREVENT THE THOUSANDS OF DISOREDERS THAT AFFECT HUMAN BEINGS . BESIDES PROVIDING CLUES TO UNDERSTANDING HUMAN BIOLOGY , LEARNING ABOUT NON HUMAN ORGANISMS DNA SEQUENCES CAN LEAD TO AN UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR NATIONAL CAPABILITIES THAT CAN BE APPLIED TOWARD SOLVING CHALLENGES IN HEALTH CARE, AGRICULTURE, ENERGY PRODUCTION AND  ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION.

QUESTION 78 . ANS. OPTION A

THE MAIN AIM OF HUMAN GENOME PROJECT WAS TO CRETAE A MAP OF HUMAN GENOME STRUCTURE OR SEQUENCE ALL THE GENES PRESNT IN  HUMAN DNA .

OPTION B IS INCORRECT BECAUSE THE PRINCIPLE GOAL OF HUMAN GENOME PROJECT WAS NOT TO FIND THE RELATIOSHIP AMONG GENDER DIFFERENCES.

OPTION C IS INCORRECT BECAUSE THE MAIN GOAL OF HUMAN GENOME PROJECT WAS NOT TO DETEREMINE THE IMPACT OF RACE UPON HEALTH STATUS.

OPTON D IS INCORRECT BECAUSE THE MAIN GOAL OF HUMAN GENOME PROJECT WAS NOT TO DETERMINE THE GENETIC CORRELATES OF HEALTH DISPARITY.

QUESTION 79 ANS.OPTION A .

HUMAN GENOME PROJECT DIDNOT REVEAL THE RELATION BETWEEN GENE AND RACE. AFTER HUAMAN GENOME PROJECT SCIENTISTS THINK THAT RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT NOT A BIOLOGICAL ONE.

OPTION B IS INCORRECT BECAUSE GENETIC HISTORY DIDNOT DETERMINE HEALTH STATUS.

OPTION D IS INCORRECT BECAUSE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT DIDNOT FIND THE EXISTANCE OF HOMOGENEOUS RACES.
