The Gene Density of the X Chromosome is BEST Described

Question

The gene density of the X chromosome is BEST described by which of the following statements?
A)The gene density of the X chromosome is like that of the gene density in the Y chromosome.
B)The gene density of the X chromosome is like that of the gene density in an autosome.
C)It is unique.
D)None of the answer options is correct.

Accepted Answer

The gene density of the X chromosome is similar to that of an autosome, which means it has a higher gene density than the Y chromosome. This is because the X chromosome is larger and more gene-rich compared to the Y chromosome which is relatively small and has fewer genes.
