Absolute dating provides the accurate age of a fossil which relative dating cannot.

Explanation:

Two methods of dating falls under the study of geology, one is absolute and the other is relative dating. Both the processes evaluate the period and age of a rock or fossil.

In the absolute process the age in number of a sample rock can be determine and relative process determines the relative age by observing the surrounding layers.

Absolute one is performed with various methods, like- radiometric dating, amino acid dating etc. and relative involves- stratigraphy, cross dating etc.

During the Human Genome Project, scientists created a gene map showing the relative location of each known gene on every human c
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Approximately 20,500 genes

Explanation:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year international research effort aimed at determining the entire DNA sequence of the human genome. The HGP was launched in 1990 and completed in April 2013. This project helped to identify and physically map all the genes of the human genome. The sequence obtained from the HGP has been a very useful point of reference in order to identify and characterize mutations associated with genetic disorders. The HGP predicted approximately 20,500 genes (each of them produces an average of three proteins), which are distributed in the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the cells of our body.
