Question:

Scientists say they have completed the first full and seamless catalogue of genetic instructions of humans. Until now, about 8% of the human genome code was missing from the blueprint. The quest to decipher and complete a gapless DNA sequence has taken decades. The resource helps explain how to create every human cell in the body, which could shed light on how to treat, prevent and cure disease. Now, just 10 million bases or letters of human DNA out of roughly 3 billion, are unknown.
The conclusion drawn above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed ?

  • Until the discovery it had been impossible to explain how any human cell in the body is created.
  • It has been possible to complete the full seamless catalogue of human genetic instructions using 2.99 billion letters of human DNA.
  • Scientists will be able to explain how to treat and prevent cellular diseases only once the remaining 10 million letters of human DNA are known
  • The 8% of missing human genome code has taken the longest time to be deciphered.
