1. The main aim of the Human Genome Project was to determine the DNA Sequence of every human gene.
2. Variation in skin colour is an example of polygenic inheritance
This Human Karyotype is unusual because it has an extra chromosome at chromosome 21.
Klinefelters syndrome is shown in the second figure
Explanation:
1. The Human Genome Project's main goal was to sequence all the 30,000 genes and 3 million base pairs in their makeup for the early detection of diseases, gene therapy and molecular level studies.
2. Human skin colour is determined by the pigment melanin. The Dominant allele is responsible for dark colours as it produces more melanin. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene and Tyrosinase enzyme codes for the human skin colour. Polygenic inheritance are the traits which are controlled by one or more genes.
<u>figures:</u>
<u>The extra chro</u>mosome at the 21st chromosome pairs is called trisomy 21 or Down's Syndrome. It is due to the abnormal cell division/meiosis resulting in an extra X chromosome. This leads to thechanges the in physical development of the individual.
Klinefelter's Syndrome: There are 47 chromosomes and 2 or more X chromosomes in this syndrome of males. The resulting male suffering from Klinefelter would be sterile and have poorly developed testicles.
Geothermal is a renewable energy, because it is from the heat produced by the earth. The earth gets heat from the sun, which will be there for the next million of years. Geothermal has benefits, because if we harness the use of it, instead of mining out all of our coal and oil, we can use this for a long run, and only leave non-renewable energy resources for backup. However, there are consequences to communities and surroundings. The geothermal only benefits when the earth is warm. When the earth becomes too warm, we wouldn't even need the energy anymore cuz everythings dead. So we can use this, but overall we must try to lower the amount of resources that produce this thing as possible.. ( use other renewable energy)
hope this helps

Answer;
-The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.
Explanation;
-The term junk DNA refers to regions of DNA that are noncoding. DNA contains instructions (coding) that are used to create proteins in the cell. However, the amount of DNA contained inside each cell is vast and not all of the genetic sequences present within a DNA molecule actually code for a protein.
-Some of this noncoding DNA is used to produce non-coding RNA components such as transfer RNA, regulatory RNA and ribosomal RNA. However, other DNA regions are not transcribed into proteins, nor are they used to produce RNA molecules and their function is unknown.
