These different ways vary the quality and the accuracy of the map. No matter how a map is made it is going to have geographic grids, which help us find and describe l...

Human Genome Project Dna Sequences
5,742 wordsLife as we know it is specified by genomes. Every organism possess a genome that contains the biological information needed to construct and maintain a living example of that organism. Most genomes, including those for all cellular lifeforms, are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) but a few viruses have RNA (ribonucleic acid) genomes. DNA and RNA are polymeric molecules made up of linear, unbranched chains of monomeric substances called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar, a p...
