question 32

Multiple Choice

Possessing the entire sequence of a particular human genome may not be as useful as we think.Why not?

• A)Every human genome is different enough that knowing ONE human's DNA sequence can't tell us almost anything about ALL humans.
• B)It's not the DNA sequence that matters-we need to know the mRNA sequence of the human genome.
• C)Due to the presence of introns/exons,and splicing of RNA after transcription,the DNA sequence doesn't necessarily tell us the exact number/type of proteins that will eventually be made from it.
• D)The amount of "junk DNA" present in the human genome masks any useful genetic information that we'd like to obtain.
