The Human Genome Project was a landmark international scientific research project aimed at determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA and identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint. It also involved sequencing several model organisms.
An organism for which 'the human genome project' that finished in 2003 did not sequence the genome is - a) mouse - b) fruit fly - c) yeast - d) monkey
