(D) The Human Genome Project $(HGP)$ revealed several key findings:$1$. The total number of genes is estimated at $30,000$,which is much lower than previous estimates.$2$. Less than $2\%$ of the genome codes for proteins.$3$. Chromosome $1$ has the most genes $(2968)$,and the $Y$ chromosome has the fewest $(231)$.$4$. The functions are unknown for over $50\%$ of the discovered genes. Therefore,the statement that 'more than $50\%$ of discovered genes have known functions' is incorrect.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ $1^{st}$ Chromosome	$(i)$ $1.4$ million locations
$(B)$ $\text{SNPs}$	$(ii)$ $2968$ genes
$(C)$ Dystrophin gene	$(iii)$ $231$ genes
$(D)$ $Y$-Chromosome	$(iv)$ $2.4$ million $bp$
