Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Human Genome Project $(HGP)$ involved the sequencing of several non-human model organisms to understand the genetic basis of life. The primary non-human model organisms sequenced were the nematode $Caenorhabditis$ $elegans$,the fruit fly $Drosophila$ $melanogaster$,the yeast $Saccharomyces$ $cerevisiae$,and the bacterium $Escherichia$ $coli$. Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ $1^{st}$ Chromosome	$(i)$ $1.4$ million locations
$(B)$ $\text{SNPs}$	$(ii)$ $2968$ genes
$(C)$ Dystrophin gene	$(iii)$ $231$ genes
$(D)$ $Y$-Chromosome	$(iv)$ $2.4$ million $bp$

The non-human model organisms sequenced in the Human Genome Project were:

$A$: $SNPs$ (pronounced as "snips") are common in the human genome.
$R$: These are minute variations that occur at a frequency of one in every $300$ bases.

In the genome of the mouse, the estimated number of genes is . . . . . . (in thousands).

Which is the largest known gene in humans?

Correctly match column-$I$ with column-$II$:

Column-$I$ Column-$II$

$(A)$ $1^{st}$ Chromosome $(i)$ $1.4$ million locations
