Which of the following is not a major feature of the human genome? Group of answer choices The human genome sequence is roughly 99.9% similar among individuals of all nationalities. The Y chromosome contains the fewest number of genes. The human genome consists of approximately 3 billion nucleotides. About 99.9% of the human genome encodes for proteins. Roughly half the human genome consists of transposable element and other repetitive DNA sequences.

Which of the following are TRUE with regards to the human genome? Select ALL that are correct. The human genome and genomes of other mammals display a fair amount of similarity. None of the above are correct. Regions that encode proteins make up a large portion of the genome. About 40% of the human genome has homology to transposons. CNVs are the most common type of genetic variation in the human genome. There are about 100,000 microsatellite sites in the human genome.
