Answer:

The correct answer will be- 24 TO 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The introns are the non-coding sequence which is present in the sequence of the human genome and any other eukaryotic organism. They do not code for any functional protein in the organism but still present in the genome like advertisements on the TV.

They are present in the human genome in large amount as about 24 TO 37% of the human genome is constituted by these introns.

Thus, 24 TO 37% is the correct answer.
