Regarding the differences between the human genome and the tiger pufferfish genome
A)little can be said since pufferfish are not vertebrates-they are too different to compare.
B)essentially all the human genes have nearly identical counterparts in pufferfish.
C)the order of genes along the chromosomes in both species is essentially identical.
D)both species have about the same amount of introns and "nonsense" sequences of DNA.
E)about 25% of the human genes are unique when compared to the tiger pufferfish.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that about 25% of human genes are unique when compared to the tiger pufferfish implies that there are significant differences between the human genome and the tiger pufferfish genome. Therefore, option E is the best choice. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they suggest little or no differences between the genomes. Option D is also incorrect as it makes an assumption about the amount of introns and "nonsense" DNA in both species without any evidence.
