Answer: The correct answer is -

4,403.

Gene can be described as segment of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for particular protein.

It is transcribed (that is DNA to mRNA) and translated (mRNA to Protein) to form a protein product.

There are total 4,403 genes that have been identified in the genome of E.coli.

Thus, option third is the right answer.
