Approximately what fraction of the human genome encodes proteins?

(A) 2%
(B) 20%
(C) 50%
(D) 90%

The majority of the genome in the human body consists of non-coding DNA and about 1-2% encodes proteins. Noncoding DNA includes regulatory regions, introns, and other functional elements that do not directly code for proteins, and protein-coding regions are formed by exons, which are parts of genes that encode proteins. Transcribed and translated. The rest of the genome plays various roles in gene regulation, structural functions and other cellular processes.
