Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shared human genome refers to the complete set of genetic instructions that are common to all humans. This includes the 20,000-25,000 genes that are estimated to be present in the human genome, as well as non-coding DNA sequences and regulatory elements that control gene expression. While there is variation between individuals in terms of specific genetic variations (such as single nucleotide polymorphisms), the core set of genetic instructions that make us human is common across the population.
