Section 14.3: Human Molecular Genetics
Exercise 1
Result
1 of 1
The Human Genome Project is a scientific research project that aims to study the human DNA sequence. With the cooperation of many countries, it continues to be an ongoing project to discover the genomes of organisms.
Exercise 2
Result
1 of 1
Gene therapy is the process of replacing an absent or a faulty gene with a normal functioning gene in order to get rid of the cause of some disorders.
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 3
DNA testing generally involves identifying and analyzing fragments or sequences of DNA. This can provide researchers with information that can be used for many various applications.
Step 2
2 of 3
DNA testing is commonly used in forensic science. Analysts are able to examine a sample of DNA, which can help identify individuals. It can be useful identifying victims and criminals.
Step 3
3 of 3
DNA testing can also be used in the medical field. Analysts would be able to analyze the DNA of a patient to diagnose a genetic disorder. This would help determine effective treatments.
Exercise 4
Result
1 of 1
Scientists determine the genes in the DNA sequence by determining the bases of the DNA sequence and locating the promoters or the binding sites for RNA polymerase because they contain the starting point of a particular gene. In addition, they also pinpoint the location of the coding region or exons, and the non-coding regions or introns to know how long a gene usually goes.
Exercise 5
Solution 1
Solution 2
Step 1
1 of 1
Learn causes of genetic disorders and how the inheritance and expression of human traits is controlled. Helpful in curing diseases, but could cause discrimination and the manipulation of human traits for profit.
Step 1
1 of 3
The Human Genome Project has improved our understanding of human genetics since it has provided a lot of information on various human genes, including their location and function.
Step 2
2 of 3
The information provided by the human genome can be very useful in the diagnosis of human genetic diseases. It can also help provide information on the inheritance of human traits.
Step 3
3 of 3
However, some ethical problems may arise from such an extensive collection of genomic information. It may be possible that the human genome can be manipulated for one’s own profit. This can also lead to discrimination with regards to genetic traits among humans.
