    Question

    Sequencing of genomes other than humans is potentially valuable because

    A disorders of cellular functions can be studied in relatively simple model systems Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B comparison of gene sequence between different species can allow prediction of disease- causing mutations Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C genes may have a similar function in other species, giving us a place to start with functional analysis of similar genes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sequencing genomes of species other than humans is valuable for several reasons, and one of the key reasons is that genes in different species can have similar functions. This similarity allows researchers to use model organisms to study gene function and regulation, which can provide insights into the function of related genes in humans and other species. It serves as a valuable tool for comparative genomics and functional analysis across species.
