A
10 billion
B
500 million
C
1 billion
D
3 billion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the human genome is the complete set of DNA, including all of its genes, and is composed of base pairs.
Recall that the human genome is organized into 23 pairs of chromosomes, which contain the DNA sequences.
Recognize that the total number of base pairs in the human genome is a commonly known figure in biology.
Consider the options given: 10 billion, 500 million, 1 billion, and 3 billion base pairs.
Identify that the widely accepted estimate for the number of base pairs in the human genome is approximately 3 billion.
