The human genome project identified the sequence of base pairs in human DNA and identified several genes. Which question would least likely lead to a scientific investigation based on these findings? Answers: Are certain humans more likely to develop genetic diseases? How can DNA be used to identify criminals? Can drugs be developed to target certain genes? Should there be laws to protect DNA information?

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is "How can DNA be used to identify criminals?".

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to pick the question that is least likely to lead to a scientific investigation based on these findings. The question states that the HGP identified sequences of base pairs in human DNA as well as many genes. The other questions were very likely to have arisen bases off of these findings. Criminal identification based on DNA is not the focus of the Human Genome Project.
