Document Summary
No correlation between genome size and the complexity of an organism. Haploid = contains a single set of chromosomes. Diploid = contains a double set of chromosomes. Genome = all the genetic material of a cell/organism. Genotype = the genetic make-up of a cell/organism. Gene = unit of hereditary information consisting of a dna sequence. E. coli = approx 4,100,000 base pairs = 8,200,000 total number of bases in its genome. You are comparing the genetic material of two species. Species y has 96 million base pairs . 3. 1 a genome is all the genetic material of an organism transmitted from parents to offspring, and its sequence is the order of bases along a dna molecule. 13. 2 researchers annotate genome sequences to identify genes and other functional elements. 13. 3 the number of genes in a genome and the size of a genome do not correlate well with the complexity of an organism.
