Describe the significance of the Genome 10K project.

Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together, which of the following best describes the goal of the Genome 10-K project. So let's recall what we've learned about what the Genome 10-K project is to figure out which of the following best describes the goal of the Genome 10-K project. So we know that the Genome 10-K project refers to an international effort to sequence the genome of 10,000 vertebrates. And this is to promote conservation efforts as well as to offer a genetic resource for studying purposes and so that we can understand evolution and variety. And so now that we know what the Genome 10-K project is, as well as the project's principal objectives. We can see that answer choice A says to sequence the entire genome of 10, animals. Answer choice pieces to create a database of genomes from 10,000 species. And answer choice C says to study the evolution and diversity of vertebrate animals, which is all best described the goal of the genome 10-K project. So answer choice D is the correct answer. Because answer choices A B and C all best described the goal of the Genome 10-K project, which is an international effort to sequence the genome of 10,000 vertebrates in hopes to promote conservation efforts and offer a genetic resource so that we can study it and so that we can understand evolution and variety. So answer choice D is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
