The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding what the intergenic regions contain in the human genome, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Intergenic Regions**: - Intergenic regions are the segments of DNA located between genes. They do not code for proteins but can have important regulatory functions. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1: Gene related sequence**: This refers to sequences that may be involved in the regulation of gene expression. This is a plausible component of intergenic regions. - **Option 2: Intragenic DNA**: This refers to DNA sequences located within a gene. Since intergenic regions are between genes, this option is incorrect. - **Option 3: Extragenic DNA**: This refers to DNA sequences that are outside of genes, which aligns with the definition of intergenic regions. This option is also plausible. - **Option 4: 1 and 3 are correct**: This option suggests that both gene-related sequences and extragenic DNA are found in intergenic regions. 3. **Determine the Correct Answer**: - Since intergenic regions can contain gene-related sequences (which can act as enhancers) and extragenic DNA (which is essentially what intergenic regions are), both options 1 and 3 are correct. - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 4: 1 and 3 are correct**. ### Final Answer: The intergenic regions in the human genome contain gene-related sequences and extragenic DNA. Thus, the correct answer is option 4: 1 and 3 are correct. ---
