Question

The human genome project is made up of .......... repetitive DNA sequences.

• A. 1%
• B. 5%
• C. 50%
• D. 90%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 50%

• The Human Genome Project was an international effort to determine the DNA sequence of the entire Human Genome and the mapping of genes that are present in humans.
• it is found that there are around 30000 to 40000 genes present in humans and 97% of the inactive DNA material contains around 50 percent of repetitive DNA material that can be found which makes that there is around two-third of the sequence consisting of repetitive elements as humans.

So the correct option is '50%'.
