Solution

The correct option is D All of these
Human Genome Project (HGP) was successful in finding out the sequence of the entire human genome.

HGP holds the prospects of a vast database about our genetic identity. These DNA databases can be used in the analysis of genetic diseases (cancer) and DNA fingerprinting.

HGP tends to bring about technological advances in the field of biology for the benefit of mankind.
One of the advances, the International HapMap Project, was launched as a scientific effort to identify common genetic variations among people.
The International HapMap Project was possible due to availability of databases of genomic sequences of humans.
