What are the relationships among the following types of organisms with respect to genome size:viruses
, bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes.
What will be an ideal response?
Viruses have the smallest genomes of these four types of organisms. Bacterial and archaean genomes
are similar in size to each other. Eukaryotes have the largest genome sizes of these four groups. There
is overlap among the groups, however, in that viral genome sizes overlap with genomes from
archaea/bacteria, and eukaryote genome sizes overlap with genomes from archaea/bacteria.
