5. The Human Genome Project
Genome: All the
genetic
information (DNA)
of an organism, as
a list in order of
every base.
99.9% DNA in
common
• Scientists in 18 countries.
• Started in 1990 and was
completed in 2003 the HGP
was complete.
• Scientists had worked the
sequence of over 3 million
base pairs that make up the
human genome.

Where DNA is found.Shape of the DNA moleculeName of a base that pairs with adenine.The hydrogen bonds which join the bases are weak. Hence double helix shape.
