The genome of Caenorhabditis elegans consists of

Options

  1. A3 billion base pairs and 30,000 genes
  2. B12 million base pairs and 6000 genes
  3. C4.7 million base pairs and 4000 genes
  4. D97 million base pairs and 18,000 genes

Correct answer

D. 97 million base pairs and 18,000 genes

Step-by-step solution

The Caenorhabditis elegans genome sequence is now complete, fully contiguous telomere to telomere and totaling 97 million base pairs. The sequence has catalyzed the collection of systematic data sets and analyses, including protein-coding genes, giving a total number of 18000 genes.
