Solution

The correct option is A

The gene sequences from human chromosomes are found in Mice


Each human chromosome is depicted in a different color and the mouse chromosome shows the same gene sequences in them as in the humans. This is depicted more clearly by using the same color to depict gene coding regions between humans and mouse chromosomes. The figure above shows that the gene set is essentially equivalent between mice and humans. Note that the X chromosome is completely conserved between human and mouse (and so they are of the same color entirely).
