Which statement is incorrect :-

Options

A. Human genome project was a 13 years project
B. Genome of fruit and arabidopsis have been sequenced
C. HGP was called big banf theory
D. Repetitive sequence are stretches of DNA sequences that are repeated many times, some time hundred to thousand times

Answer

To determine which statement is incorrect, we will analyze each statement provided in the question:

1. **Statement 1:** "Human Genome Project was a 13 year project."
- The Human Genome Project (HGP) was indeed a large-scale scientific endeavor that aimed to map all the genes in the human genome. It officially started in 1990 and was completed in 2003, making it a 13-year project.
- **Conclusion:** This statement is correct.

2. **Statement 2:** "Genome of fruits and Arabidopsis have been sequenced."
- Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard, is widely used as a model organism in plant research. Its genome has been sequenced, and many fruit genomes have also been sequenced.
- **Conclusion:** This statement is correct.

3. **Statement 3:** "HGP was called the Big Bang theory."
- The Human Genome Project is not referred to as the Big Bang theory. The Big Bang theory pertains to the origin of the universe, while the Human Genome Project is focused on mapping human DNA.
- **Conclusion:** This statement is incorrect.

4. **Statement 4:** "Repetitive sequences are a stretch of DNA sequences that are repeated many times."
- Repetitive sequences in DNA are indeed stretches of DNA that are repeated multiple times, often ranging from hundreds to thousands of times. They can play various roles in genetics and genome structure.
- **Conclusion:** This statement is correct.

Based on the analysis, the incorrect statement is:

**Answer:** HGP was called the Big Bang theory.
