A retrotranspon known as LINE1 is about 1000 base pairs in length and is present in the human genome in about 516,000 copies. Approximately what percentage of the human genome is accounted for by this transposon?a. 0.017%
b. 17%
c. 0.17%
d. 0.0017%
e. 1.7%

b. 17%

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating that the human genome possesses around 3,000 millions of base pairs.

Therefore, if this retrotransposon is around 1,000 base pair and possesses 516,000 copies, it will produce 516,000,000 of base pairs overall.

Let's consider,

516 millions

× 100

3000 millions

= 17.2% (approximately 17%)

it gives us a percentage of the human genome which is for this transposon.

the bullets go in this order.
