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

hromosome. This map led to the discovery that the human genome is made up of about how many genes?

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.

Answer:

Genes coding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Explanation:

Chiasma is the connecting link between two non sister chromatids from homologous chromosomes. At chiasma chromosomal crossover takes place in which the genetic material is exchanged between the chromatids. During meiosis aneuploidy occurs if chiasma is absent or impaired due to a mutation in genes encoding for proteins involved in chiasma formation.

Aneuploidy is characterised by presence of abnormal number of chromosomes in cells. They can be 45 or 47 in number apart from the usual 46. Due to impaired chiasma, chromosome pair fails to separate and is passed on to the egg or sperm as it is hence there is one gamete with an extra chromosome and one gamete with a less chromosome. Aneuploidy can result in many genetic disorders like three copies of chromosome 21 can result in Down syndrome.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

It is important to use hand sanitizer and wash your hands in a science laboratory, because the chemicals we are exposed to need to be gotten rid of so that we can maintain a healthy and clean environment, and keep each other safe by limiting the spread of our germs... Plus, corona virus.

I'm not sure if this would help but this is what I would say I guess.

Eukaryotic cells have developed more specialized functions than prokaryotic cells. What is this referring to?
elixir [45]
I'm not sure if this would answer the whole question but Eukaryotic cells have more specialized functions such as them having a nucleus and Prokaryotic cells do not.
