Solution

The correct option is C (i)-Human Genome Project,
(ii)-bioinformatics
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international, scientific research project to understand the complete genetic makeup of human beings.

The amount of data obtained from the project was huge and it required large calculation, storage and analytical tools.

Hence, the Human Genome Project was closely associated with the rapid development of a new area in biology called bioinformatics.

The application of tools of computation and analysis to capture and interpret biological data is called bioinformatics which is an interdisciplinary field.

Gene mapping is the identification of the locus (location) of the genes and distance between genes on a chromosome.

Human cloning is creation of a genetic copy (clone) of an existing person.
