Does genome size equal complexity?
What contributes to the difference in average gene size?
What is the average size of a bacterial genome (in base pairs)?
How many genes are encoded by the typical bacterial genome?
What is the average gene size for bacteria (in base pairs)?
What is the average size of the human genome (in base pairs)?
How many genes are encoded by the typical human genome?
What is the average gene size for humans (in base pairs)?
Solution
No the genome size does not reflect the complexity. Genome size is the average amount of DNA contained in one single copy of genome.
Bacterial genomes can range between 130kbp to 14 Mbp. BBacteria show large correlation between the size of the genome and the functional genes, those genes are structured into operons.
The average size of human genome is 3,234.83mb/ haploid genome.
There are an estimated 19000 to 20000 genes of the total DNA genome 2% is coding genes where is remaining 98% is non coding genes.
