whole genome sequencing

Question 1

B and archae genome size

Answer 1

Genomes of most bacteria and archaea range from 1 to 6 million base pairs (Mb); genomes of eukaryotes are usually larger

Question 2

plant and animal genome size

Answer 2

Most plants and animals have genomes greater than 100 Mb; humans have 3,000 Mb
Within each domain there is no systematic relationship between genome size and phenotype

Question 3

number of genes in bacteria and archaea

Answer 3

Free-living bacteria and archaea have 1,500 to 7,500 genes

Question 4

fungi genes

Answer 4

Unicellular fungi have from about 5,000 genes and multicellular eukaryotes from 40,000 genes

Question 5

genome assembly
