NEETBiologyMolecular Basis of InheritanceMCQ+4 / −1

The last chromosome sequenced in Human Genome Project was:

  1. A
    Chromosome 6
  2. B
    Chromosome 1
  3. C
    Chromosome 22
  4. D
    Chromosome 14

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is :

Option B : Chromosome 1

While the Human Genome Project, which aimed to sequence all the genes in the human genome, was officially completed in 2003, the sequencing and refinement of some parts of the genome continued past that date. Chromosome 1, the largest human chromosome, was the last to be fully sequenced, with this task not being completed until May 2006. This marked a significant milestone in human genetics.
