Which is one of the primary goals of the Human Genome Project?

Consider the validity of the following statements about genome editing. Select True or False for each statement.

T/FCas proteins work as endonucleases.

T/FsgRNA is used by bacterial cells to detect which DNA to cut.

T/FHomologous recombination is always used to join pieces of broken DNA.

T/FIt is possible to modify genes as well as disrupt them by genome editing.

Gene density is the number of genes per million base pairs (Mbp). Using Figure 20.5b, find the approximate number of genes estimated in water fleas and in humans, and note the size of each genome. Calculate the gene density in water fleas relative to that in humans.
