? Which of the following areas of research will benefit from the human genome project?

Question

a. None of the choices are correct.
b. understanding human evolution
c. All of the choices are correct
d. understanding human embryonic development.
e. improving the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart disease, cancer, and other common ailments.

I did do the test and it and it said C. was wrong..

Answer 1

E

If A is true then C can't be true therefore C can't be true at all.

The human genome project will give you information about all the other choices so you have to pick the best one from the remaining ones.

Fragments of our evolution are encoded in our DNA, but not all of it is because our DNA doesn't determine ALL the factors that create a human, so it can't be B.

The human genome is the final product of embryonic development so it may not be D. Because once again not all the factors are included in the DNA; there are environmental, nutritional and other factors, therefore D isn't true either.

That leaves E by process of elimination. The scientist who lead the human genome project is currently working on Diabetes and why the production of insulin suddenly shuts down in the human and if that is a genetic factor. So he thinks that other common aliments can be diagnosed or at least better understood through the work of the human genome project.

I know that heart disease and cancer are all disease that do have genetic factors, which if you study the genes in the human genome you could uncover new information on them. We learned how to cure and prevent some cancers because of the human genome project and I know we have found out that some people are more prone to heart disease because of their genes so the human genome project found those answers therefore the answer has to be E.

Answer 2

the answer is not c as all the choices are correct that means a. None of the choices are correct. is correct too?

so i think answer is e .as e is the benefit for human b and d is just for understanding. it is not very direct to benefit us.

Answer 3

You should really do you own homework or research. And asking questions on yahoo answer is not considered as research.

But all options are correct.

Answer 4

B, D, and E are logically correct, though unproven.

A & C are logically exclusive, and therefore invalid.

Answer 5

c - all
