4. Y chromosomes
5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.
6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.
7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.
