A single human genome is approximately _____ base pairs long.
3.2 million
3.2 billion
3.2 trillion
What sequencing method did the Human Genome Project and Celera use to sequence fragments of DNA?
The Sanger Method
Hierarchical Sequencing
Whole-genome Sequencing
Why was Celera's whole-genome sequencing approach considered more risky than the Human Genome Project's approach?
Shorter fragments of DNA were sequenced
Longer fragments of DNA were sequenced
A contiguous map was not used
In the race for sequencing the human genome, the winner was Celera Genomics
