The methodology used in human genome sequencing that took the blind approach of simply sequencing the
whole set of genome that contained all the coding and non-coding sequence, and later assigning different
regions in the sequence with functions, is called as:
1. Expressed sequence tag
2. Sequence annotation
3. Chain termination
4. Physical mapping

Salient observations drawn from the human genome project include all of the following, except:
 
1. The human genome contains 3164.7 million bp.
2. The average gene consists of 3000 bases, but sizes vary greatly, with the largest known human gene being dystrophin at 2.4 million bases.
3. The total number of genes is estimated at  80,000 to 1,40,000 genes.
4. Almost all (99.9 per cent) nucleotide bases are exactly the same in all people.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): DNA fingerprinting is the basis of paternity testing, in case of disputes.
Reason (R): DNA from every tissue (such as blood, hair-follicle, skin, bone, saliva, sperm etc.), from an individual show the same degree of polymorphism.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The probability of variation [due to mutation] to be observed in non-coding DNA sequence would be higher than in coding DNA sequence.
Reason (R): Mutations in non-coding DNA sequences may not have any immediate effect/impact in an individual’s reproductive ability.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
