EVOLUTION CONNECTION A typical prokaryotic cell has about3,000 genes in its DNA, while a human cell has almost 21,000genes. About 1,000 of these genes are present in both types ofcells. Based on your understanding of evolution, explain howsuch different organisms could have this same subset of 1,000genes. What sorts of functions might these shared genes have?
