Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene density refers to the number of genes present in a given length of DNA sequence. Option C states that humans have approximately 25,000 genes in 2,900 Mb, which represents gene density as it combines both gene count and genome length. The other options do not provide information on gene density.
