Daniel Murray · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Yeast, specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has an estimated 6,300 genes in its genome, which is significantly fewer than the estimated 20,000-25,000 in humans, around 20,000 in fruit flies, and approximately 20,000-25,000 in mice. Roundworms (C. elegans) also have about 20,000 genes.
