Question

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific project that determined the sequence of chemical base pairs that make up DNA and mapped the human genes. This allowed researchers to compare sequences of human DNA to sequences of DNA from other organisms. From these comparisons, they could identify similar genes that may have similar functions. Which statement best explains why it is possible to make these types of comparisons of these DNA sequences?

Answer 1

Answer: The specific codons that code for a particular amino acid are common to vitually all organisms

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

Virtually all organisms replicate their genetic material prior to mitotic
