Answers (1)

best_answer

The Salient features of the human genome are:

  • The genome of a person is made up of about 3.2 billion base pairs and between 20,000 and 25,000 genes that make proteins.
  • On the other hand, only 1.5% of the DNA directly codes for proteins. Introns, regulatory sections, and repetitive DNA make up the rest of the DNA that does not code for proteins.
  • This group has a lot of DNA; it makes up almost half of the genome. It might have something to do with how genes work and how the genome changes over time.
  • It has 23 sets of chromosomes: 22 sets of autosomes and 1 set of sex chromosomes, which are called XX for females and XY for males.
  • A lot of the genome has been copied and repetitive, which makes the differences in DNA stand out even more. 99.9% of people share the same genes.
  • People are only 0.1% different from each other in ways that make them unique, like traits and how likely they are to get diseases.
