1. Scientists were trying to complete sequence of the 3 billion DNA subunits (bases), identify all human genes, and make them accessible for further biological study. When scientist learn more about our body the more they can do to help cure our sicknesses and diseases.
2. When cops try to figure out who or what committed the crime the first they do is search the crime scene for evidence. The most helpful piece of evidence is usually DNA, because they could test the DNA and figure out right away who or what did it
3. I read an article about Prince William and his baldness. Apparently the balding trait has been passed down his family from his grandfather to his father and now his father to him. But they also mention that Prince Williams younger brother Prince Harry has a full head of fluffy hair. Why? I thought but then i remember dominant and recessive alleles. The balding trait must have been dominant in Prince William but recessive in Prince Harry.
4. The people in charge of the Epigenome of Human Project are the Human Epigenome Consortium. The HEC aim to identify, catalogue and interpret genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of all human genes in all major tissues. Doing this will help control the correct expression of genes.
Catherine, you forgot to post your sources of information. You needed 2-3 for each of the 4 questions.
