    The correct answer will be - the % of the genome of a bacterium that is translated into protein

    Explanation:

    Genome is the complete set of the gene including both coding and non-coding sequences present in the organism.

    The human genome is very complex as it contains non-coding sequences in their genome so the gene density of human chromosome lies between the 10-15 genes/Mb whereas the bacterial genome is simple as it does not contains the non-coding sequences so the gene density id high that is 500-1000/Mb.

    Since the process of translation requires mRNA which is formed from the coding sequences during transcription which is high in bacteria compared to humans therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.
