Lecture 2 Flashcards
eukaryotic cells may have originated as –
predators
eukaryotes have – genomes
hybrid
genetic info has been – since the days of the last common ancestor of all living things
conserved
eukaryotic genomes are significantly – than prokaryotic ones
bigger
humans have more – DNA genes
regulatory
humans have – times more genes than e. coli
10
most bacteria and archaea have – genes
1000-6000
e. coli genome size
4.6 million
e. coli genes #
4300
human genome size
3200 million
human genes #
30,000
– of human genome does not code for proteins
98.5%
– of E. coli genome does not code for proteins
11%
new genes are generated from –
preexisting genes
four modes of genetic innovation
intragenic mutation, gene duplication, DNA segment shuffling, and horizontal transfer
