Question

Lectura Read the paragraph, then mark each statement as cierto or falso. El genoma (genome) humano es un mapa que contiene todos los genes de nuestra especie (species). Se cree que con esa información es posible crear tratamientos (treatments) para muchas enfermedades. "El genoma nos ayuda a saber qué personas tienen más riesgo (risk) de enfermarse de cáncer", dice el Dr. Antonio Herrero. Nuestro genoma se completó el 24 de abril de 2003. Desde entonces, se invirtió (was invested) mucho dinero para crear tratamientos contra el cáncer. "Pero no sólo hablamos de cáncer", asegura (assures) el Dr. Herrero. "El genoma humano puede ayudarnos a curar (to cure) la artritis (arthritis), muchos problemas del corazón y otras enfermedades".

Further Explanation

The genome is a complete set of DNA from an organism, including genes. The genome contains all the information needed to form and carry out the organism's function. In the human body, there are at least 3 million pairs of DNA, and all of this is in the nucleus of every cell. The genome consists of 23 paired chromosomes with a total of more than 3 billion DNA base pairs. Genes are a collection of DNA. The size of human genes varies, depending on the amount of DNA contained in them. Ranging from hundreds to millions of DNA.

Each human being is estimated to have 20,000 to 25,000 genes. These genes then merge into chromosomes.

About one percent of genes act as a giver of instructions about what proteins to produce in the body. While some others play an important role in regulating cell activity.

In the human body, there are two copies of each gene.

Most of the genes possessed by all humans are the same. But there is about less than 1 percent of different genes between humans. This difference makes the physical appearance is not the same for each person.
