According to the U.S. Geological Survey, most of that three percent is inaccessible. Over 68 percent of the fresh water on Earth is found in icecaps and glaciers, and just over 30 percent is found in ground water. Only about 0.3 percent of our fresh water is found in the surface water of lakes, rivers, and swamps. The use for the water in the world is for household drinking water. The ocean stores about 97 percent of the Earth's water; the remaining three percent is stored in glaciers and ice, below the ground, in rivers and lakes. Of the world's total water supply of about 332 million cubic miles of water, about 97 percent is stored in the ocean.

Answer:
<em>The correct option is C) A mouse and a human have about the same number of genes.</em>
Explanation:
The technique of genetic sequencing has enable us to learn and compare thee genomes of different organisms. Genome sequencing proves that the genome of the humans and mice are about 99 percent similar. The number of genes in the mouse genome and the genome of humans is almost equal.
Other options, like option A, cannot be true because many complex organisms have fewer chromosomes than other organisms. For example, there are many simple plants which have more number of chromosomes than the complex humans.
Genotypes or genomes. phenotypes are physical characteristics.
