Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the table, the nematode (Caenorhabditis elegans) devotes 23.7% of its genome to protein-coding genes, while the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) and human (Homo sapiens) devote 13.7% and 1.5% respectively. Therefore, only the nematode devotes more than one-fifth of its genome to protein-coding genes.
