Question

What is the potential use of a map showing the sequence of DNA bases in a human chromosome?

Answer 1

Because it helps us to compare, identify, resolve and study the effects of the DNA its disorders...

Explanation:

If a scientists know the DNA sequence for a human gene, we can compare it to sequence in a person with a genetic disorder and identify where mutations are..

Scientists can then study the effects of that mutation on the way proteins function, and that is how treatments for disorders are developed..

We can also compare the human DNA sequence to sequence in other animals eg mice, to identify the most conserved, and theoretically the most functionally relevant regions of sequence. .

This also helps us understand how the gene, and therefore the protein, normally functions in a healthy cell..

Hope this helps!
