Medical Definition of C value paradox
1.
Comparison of the amount of DNA present in the haploid genome of different organisms (the C value) reveals two problems: the value can differ widely between two closely related species and there seems to be far more DNA in higher organisms than could possibly be required to code for the modest increase in complexity.
