113.   If the suspect gene is present, it will bind to the gene fragments on the chip.

114.   If a variant gene has a counterpart copied onto another chromosome, the counterpart gene is likely to be involved in similar disease conditions, Celera authors have found.

115.   If there are no resistance genes, the population may disappear.

116.   If genes are the primary driving force behind all cancer, Malins said, somebody needs to explain a few anomalies.

117.   If the genes are not affecting behavior in people that will soon come clear.

118.   If those genes can be isolated, and the products that they instruct the body to build duplicated, an anti-aging pill could be made.

119.   In an effort to assess where disease-linked genes are located, the Congress-mandated Human Genome Project is attempting to map out all genes.

120.   In essence, our genes are the instruction booklets for our lives.
