Correct comparisons are the middle three:
- An elephant has a greater relative amount of non‑coding DNA than a fruit fly.
- A fruit fly has a greater relative amount of non‑coding DNA than a bacterium.
- A bacterium has a greater relative amount of non‑coding DNA than an archaeon.
The human vs. elephant comparison is not a reliable difference—both mammals have similarly high proportions of noncoding DNA.
- An elephant has a greater relative amount of non‑coding DNA than a fruit fly.
- A fruit fly has a greater relative amount of non‑coding DNA than a bacterium.
