Arlecino [84]2 years ago
3 0

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.

What will charles darwin have to say about lamarcks theory?
iragen [17]
He would say that Lamarck's theory is wrong. Lamarck's theory stated that traits that are used are passed on to the offspring. In other words, if an organism changes during its lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, then its changes will be passed on to its offspring. This is wrong because this means that organisms pass on traits based on genetic information and not based on the environment of the offspring.

Hope this helps.
