Which of the following accurately compares the genome of humans to the genome of fruit flies?

A. The genome of the fruit fly has yet to be sequenced and analyzed. Therefore no comparison can be made.
B. The genomes of humans and fruit flies have very different numbers of base pairs but the same number of genes.
C. The genomes of humans and fruit flies have approximately the same number of base pairs and the same number of genes.
D. Fruit fly genomes have fewer base pairs and genes as compared to humans.
E. The genomes of fruit flies and humans have approximately the same number of base pairs but differ in the number of genes.

Final answer:

The genomes of humans and fruit flies have similar numbers of base pairs but differ in gene count.


Explanation:

The correct comparison of the genome of humans to the genome of fruit flies is:

  1. The genomes of humans and fruit flies have approximately the same number of base pairs but differ in the number of genes.

This is supported by the fact that while humans and fruit flies may have a similar number of base pairs, the number of genes present in their genomes differs.
