NEETZoologyMolecular Basis of Inheritance
Select the incorrect statement for the given figure.
Options
- AThe genetic and physical maps on the genome was generated using information on polymorphism of restriction end
- BThe human genome contains 3164.7 million bp.
- CLess than 2 percent of the genome codes for proteins.
- DRepeated sequences make up a very small portion of the human genome.
Correct answer
D. Repeated sequences make up a very small portion of the human genome.
Step-by-step solution
Another challenging task was assigning the genetic and physical maps on the genome. This was generated using information on polymorphism of restriction endonuclease recognition sites, and some repetitive DNA sequences known as microsatellites (one of the applications of polymorphism in repetitive DNA sequences shall be explained in next section of DNA fingerprinting). Some of the salient observations drawn from human genome project are as follows: (i) The human genome contains 3164.7 million bp. (v) Less than 2 per
