- Chromosome X
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Chromosome 1 is the largest chromosome in the human genome and contains the highest number of genes. It is responsible for encoding many proteins involved in various biological functions. Chromosome 1 has about 2,000 to 2,100 genes, which is more than any other chromosome in the human genome.
Thus, the correct answer is Chromosome 1.
