3.02- The Meaning of Genetic
Variation
Biomedical Technology II
The Ultimate Source of Genetic
Variation
Differences in DNA sequences
Time to Investigate Human Genetic
Variation at the Molecular Level
What Did You Learn?
• Molecular variation between two people is only
about 0.1% because of the large size of human
genome, this translates to about 3 million base
differences
• Human genetic variation does not appear to affect
function
• Human genetic variation is related to disease
