Q3. A typical prokaryotic cell has about 3000 genes in its DNA, while a typical human cell has about 25,000 genes. About 1000 of these genes are present in both types of cells. Based on your understanding of evolution, explain how such different organisms could have the same subset of genes. What kinds of functions might these shared genes have?
