The human chromosome with the highest and least number of genes in them are respectively:
Show Hint
- Chromosome 21 and Y.
- Chromosome 1 and X.
- Chromosome 1 and Y.
- Chromosome X and Y.
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Chromosome with the highest number of genes. - Chromosome 1 has the highest number of genes, with approximately 2,000–3,000 genes.
Step 2: Chromosome with the least number of genes. - Chromosome Y has the least number of genes, with around 50–60 functional genes.
