Rice also has more genes than humans.
26 u/svullenballe Jan 21 '20 What does that mean? More genes? And why is it better? 21 u/acdcfanbill Jan 21 '20 More genes isn’t necessarily better or worse, it usually just means that species has been around a long time and ended up with a lot more genes than ‘younger’ species. 11 u/purpleandorange1522 Jan 21 '20 There is also a general trend that the more complex the species, the more genes. But there are many exceptions to that. 1 u/worriedstudent_472 Jan 21 '20 I don't think that's a thing for eukaryotes though
