be a true princess. So he traveled all over the world to find one. There were plenty of princesses but
he couldnt find out if they were real. They all had defects. So he returned home feeling very
disappointed. One night there was a terrible storm with thunder and lightning. Suddenly, while it was
raining, someone knocked on the palace gate. The old king went to the door and there stood a
beautiful girl, dripping wet. Water was running from her hair, her clothes were soaked and her shoes

z. Human Genome
aa.
ab. A genome is all the genetic material contained in an organism. The word is a combination
of gene and chromosome because it includes all genes, chromosomes and the DNA of
an organism. Genes carry information for making all the proteins required by all organisms.
These proteins determine how the organism looks, how well its body metabolizes food or
fights against infection, and even how it behaves.

ac. DNA is made up of four similar chemicals (called bases A, T, C and G) that are repeated
millions or billions of times throughout a genome. The human genome, for example has 3
billion pairs of bases.
ad. The particular order of As, Ts, Cs and Gs is extremely important. The order underlies all of
lifes diversity, even dictating whether an organism is human or of another species.
ae. Because all organisms are related through similarities in DNA sequences, insights gained
from genomes often lead to new knowledge about human biology.
