The number of base pairs in human diploid genome are:: (A) 2 billion base pairs (bp), (B) 3 billion base pairs (bp), (C) 5 billion base pairs (bp), (D) 6 billion base pairs (bp)
Answer is D. Genome Base pairs Haploid 3 billion Diploid 3 x 2 = 6 billion Value based one liners Average size of a gene 27,000 bp Protein coding genes 19000 to 20000 only Percentage of exons 1-2 % of human genome Percentage of Adenine in human genome 54 % (most abundant base) Longest/ largest gene DMD gene, codes for muscle protein Dystrophin Largest protein Titin Most abundant proteins in mammals Collagen Number of proteins in human body > 2.5 lakh Number of SNPs in human genome 3 million Maximum number of genes are present for Olfactory receptors
