Model Organisms in DNA Sequencing — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027Besides providing clues to understanding human biology, learning about non-human organisms DNA sequences can lead to an understanding of their natural capabilities that can be applied toward solving challenges in health care, agriculture, energy production, environmental remediation, etc. Many non-human model organisms, such as bacteria, yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans (a free living non-pathogenic nematode), Drosophila (the fruit fly), plants (rice and Arabidopsis), etc., have also been sequenced.

Which of the following statements about the Human Genome Project (HGP) is correct? (1) HGP aimed to identify all the genes in human DNA. (2) It aimed to sequence only exons, not introns. (3) It required high speed computational devices and bioinformatics. (4) Chromosome 1 was the last sequenced. (5) The project ignored ethical issues.
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: B — 1, 3, 4
HGP aimed to sequence entire human genome, including coding and non-coding regions. It relied heavily on computational analysis and bioinformatics. Chromosome 1 was last sequenced. Ethical, legal, social issues were also part of HGP, not ignored.
