In Homo sapiens , the estimated gene number is ________.

In Homo sapiens, the estimated gene number is ________.

Options

  1. A33,00033{,}000
  2. B25,00025{,}000
  3. C19,00019{,}000
  4. D68,00068{,}000

Correct answer

A. 33,00033{,}000

Step-by-step solution

The Human Genome Project (HGP) initially estimated the number of protein-coding genes in Homo sapiens to be roughly between 30,000 and 40,000.

Standard scientific consensus from early genome drafts often referred to this range.

Among the provided options, 33,000 is the closest and most appropriate value that falls within this estimated range.

Answer: 33,00033{,}000
