When considering the following figure, what is the range of genome size for protozoa? What does this tell us concerning the relationship between genome size and organismal complexity?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
Protozoans have genome sizes that range from the relatively small (<10 Mb) to the relatively large (~100,000 Mb). Given the relatively simplistic organization of protozoans, this indicates that organismal complexity does not correlate with genome size.
