Question

What is one benefit of mapping the human genome? locating the chromosomal abnormalities that cause disease having the genomes of every living individual on file choosing the gender or intellectual ability of an unborn child cloning the individuals that comprise a nearly extinct tribe

Answer 1

Genome mapping is an important tool to detect the genes responsible for genetic disorders.

• Genetic mapping or linkage mapping is a tool to detect the presence of genetic disorders that can be transmitted from parent to child.
• Mapping provides information regarding the gene that is defected.
• The scientists have been successfull in detecting genes that are responsible for diseases like cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy,etc.
• They help in early detection of a disease.
• Gene mapping can be used to detect the genes responsible for cloning.

Explanation:

My original answer was deleted.  I haven't seen this answer/question in a while so I think this is the correct parts of A.  All I know is that it's A, not sure the actual words after "abnormalities" are.

Really mad that my correct answers are getting taken down.  So if people could not be reporting correct answers, that would be appreciated.  I'm taking Edge right now, these are all Edge answers.  Don't get mad at me if they are wrong for your test, and the test isn't Edge.
