Question

Human beings have a large-sized 'proteome'. The principal and more significant reason for this is-

• A. Humans have an extremely large genome.
• B. An individual gene of the human genome may encode many different polypeptides.
• C. Humans are the most complex living organism.
• D. The human genome contains millions of different genes.

Hint:

More than \(95%\) of human multi-exon genes undergo alternative splicing.
This allows high cellular and tissue-specific complexity without needing a massive number of individual genes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
