Question:

Identify the wrongly matched one:

Show Hint

Human haploid genome = 3.3 billion base pairs, diploid = 6.6 billion.

  • $\phi$174 bacteriophage — 5386 nucleotides
  • Bacteriophage lambda — 48502 nitrogen base pairs
  • {E. coli} — 4.6 $\times$ 10$^6$ base pairs
  • Human haploid — 6.6 $\times$ 10$^9$ base pairs

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- Human diploid genome ≈ 6.6 × 10⁹ bp.
- So, haploid genome (one set) = 3.3 × 10⁹ bp.
Hence, 6.6 × 10⁹ is for diploid, not haploid → Incorrect match.
