Answer 1

Answer: Proof of the theory of evolution

I think sorry if you get it wrong

Answer 2

Answer:

proof of the theory of evolution

Explanation:

The Human Genome Project was a scientific research involving scientists from 18 countries. The genome is the set of genes of a species. The gene is formed by sequences of hundreds or thousands of nitrogen base pairs. Thus, the main objective of the project was to perform the sequencing of nitrogenous bases of human DNA.

Unraveling the human genome opened up a number of possibilities for further research in the field of genetics, medicine and biotechnology. The human genome has been found to have 3.2 billion nucleotides and their sequence is 99.9% equal among all people. Through this it was possible to bring numerous improvements in the field of science as:

• Forensic DNA analysis improvements
• Better understanding of human evolution
• DNA sequencing availability for up to 2,000 genetic diseases;
• Improved understanding of the causes of some cancers;
• Possibility of diagnosis of genetic diseases;
• Produce medicines with greater power and less side effects;
• New therapies and treatments based on the genetic profile of each individual;
• Possibility to customize medicines according to the patient's individual need;
• Greater support for forensic medicine, enabling the clarification of crimes with precision.
