Based on the provided reference, the question is not answerable as it asks for the chromosome with the largest gene, not the chromosome with the largest overall size. However, the reference does state which chromosome is the largest:
Largest Chromosome
Feature | Details |
---|---|
Chromosome | Chromosome 1 |
Size | Approximately 249 million DNA base pairs |
Proportion of DNA | Represents about 8% of the total DNA in cells. |
Although this reference provides information about the size of chromosomes, it does not discuss which chromosome contains the largest gene. Therefore, it's not possible to answer the question using the available information. It is important to note that the size of a chromosome does not directly correlate to the size of the genes it contains.
