Human Genome ProjectIn 2003, the Human Genome Project was successfully completed, determining the exact sequence of the entire human genome, which is made up of 3 billion nucleotide base pairs. The data generated from the Human Genome Project is freely available online to anyone. Many pieces of research and innovations stemmed from the HGP, allowing the identifications of 1 800 disease genes. Many of the corporations using the results from the HGP are privately funded, and research is being done for profit even though the HGP results are provided freely. Identify one advantage and one disadvantage of corporate funding and patenting genetic research results.

THE MOLECULAR GENETICS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS and of The following is the base sequence of DNA that codes for amino acids 506-510 of the protein that regulates the chlorine channels in the cell membrane. This protein contains a total of 1476 amino acids so this is a small part of the entire gene. DNA Template Strand: 3'TAGTAGAAACCACAA5' 1. What is the minimum number of DNA nucleotides in this whole gene? 2. What is the sequence of bases on the strand of DNA that is complementary to the template strand? 3. What mRNA will be formed from the template strand of DNA? 4. What amino acids will this mRNA code for? 5. If the 6th, 7th and 8th bases in the template strand of the DNA are removed, rewrite the new template strand below. 6. When the template strand of the DNA is changed, this is referred to as a mutation. What kind of mutation is this? 65
