Genomics Studies Have Shown That Humans and Rice Share About

Question

Genomics studies have shown that humans and rice share about ____ percent of their genomes.  
A) 1
B) 4
C) 8
D) 15
E) 25

Accepted Answer

According to genomics studies, humans and rice share about 25% of their genomes. This indicates that there is a significant overlap in the genetic makeup of these two species despite their vast differences in morphology and evolutionary history. This finding has important implications for understanding the genetic basis of traits, including those related to disease susceptibility and adaptation to different environments.
