Question
Chapter 5, Problem 26RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The general conclusion obtained from studies of the number of genes in the human genome and genic functions.
Introduction: Human Genome Project was a collaborative international effort to determine the sequence of all the bases that make up human beings and also to locate the position of each gene on the chromosomes. Protein encoding genes express themselves in their specific cell type and form the functional gene product in the form of specific proteins. This is known as gene expression.
