given that about 25% of the mammalian genome is associated with genes, including introns and regulatory sequence, what would be the approximate average length of dna per gene if the genome contained 20,000 genes?

Respuesta :

If the genome contained 20,000 genes, the average length of DNA per gene will be 40,000 base pairs.

What is the average length of DNA per gene?

Only 2.5% of the human genome is protein-coding. Introns make up the remaining 97.5%. The male nuclear diploid genome is 6.27 Gigabase pairs (Gbp), 205.00 cm (cm) long, and 6.41 picograms in weight (pg). Female measurements are 6.37 Gbp, 208.23 cm, and 6.51 pg.

For a 25% mammalian genome with 20,000 genes, the total number of base pairs, which is the length of DNA per gene, will be approximately double the amount of genes contained in the genome, in this case 40,000.
