Question 7 • Anatomy & Physiology A

Which of the following statements concerning the human genome are true? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The human genome contains approximately 23,000 nucleotides.
B
The human genome contains approximately 23,000 genes.
C
All human genomes have the same set of genes.
D
All human genomes are slightly different from one another.

Explanation

The human genome has approximately 23,000 genes, so statement B is true. It contains billions of nucleotides, not approximately 23,000, making A false. Human genomes are very similar but vary slightly from person to person, so D is true. They do not all have exactly the same set of genes, so C is false.
