I think the answer is 90%. According to the recent National institute of Health, Microbes in the human body estimates that 90% of the cells in human body are bacterial, fungal, or otherwise non-human. Despite the arguments that bacteria enjoys a commensal relationship with the humans hosts, only a fraction of the human microbia has been characterized.

Answer:

According to some research, the bacterial count in our body is 10 times more than the count of cells the human body is made up of.  

This means that out of every ten cells nine cells are microbial cells so at least 90% of cells in the human body are the cells of independent microorganisms.

Trillions of microbial cells alone present in our intestine which outnumbers the cells human body is made up of. Microbes live in symbiotic relationship with our body and play an important role in our survival. Microbes normally present in or on our body is called human microbiome.

baherus [9]

Answer:

reason for studying human genetics is that it gives us a powerful tool for understanding and describing human evolution. At one time, data from physical anthropology (including information about skin color, body build, and facial traits) were the only source of information available to scholars interested in tracing human evolutionary history. Today, however, researchers have a wealth of genetic data, including molecular data, to call upon in their work.

The agent that kills bacteria is called bactericidal. Bactericidal agents act directly by destroying the present bacteria. It is also different from bacteriostatic, because bacteriostatic means the inhibition of the spread and growth of bacteria only.
