Question 2 • 26-27 Ignite Health Science Concepts - EL3602

Which of the following statements are true concerning the results of the Human Genome Project? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Researchers now have maps of every human’s genome.
B
The Human Genome Project has raised many complicated ethical issues.
C
All medical conditions can be attributed to a specific gene.
D
Researchers now have a map of an “average” human genome.

Explanation

The Human Genome Project produced a reference map of the human genome based on DNA samples, often described as an “average” or reference genome; it did not map every individual person’s genome. It also raised complicated ethical issues, including questions about privacy and how genetic information might be used. Not all medical conditions can be attributed to a specific gene: many involve multiple genes, environmental factors, or both.
