Question

Which of the following organisms would have the HIGHEST predicted gene density (most genes per megabase of DNA) in genomic DNA?A. ChickenB. E. coli bacteriaC. MouseD. Human

Answer 1

Answer: E.coli bacteria has the highest predicted gene density in genomic DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene density of an organism in a genomic DNA is the ratio of the number of genes per number of base pair, it is written in megabase. Bacteria DNA has a higher gene density ranging from 500-1000/mb. This is because bacteria DNA has no introns and few codons in their gene. Humans has a gene density of 12-15gene/mb. The chicken karoytype has 6pairs of large macrochromosomes and 33 pairs of smaller microchromosomes.
