Question

Which is not a major difference in the organization or content of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes?

a) Prokaryotic genomes generally have less DNA and fewer genes than eukaryotic genomes.
b) Prokaryotic genomes have fewer repeated sequences and noncoding, intragenic sequences than eukaryotic genomes.
c) Most prokaryotic genomes are contained in one chromosome; most eukaryotic genomes are contained on several.
d) In general, eukaryotic genomes contain many introns, repeated sequences, and transposable elements. of the above are true

Answer 1

All of the above are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms possess two types of genome viz; prokaryotic genome and eukaryotic genome. The eukaryotic genome is possessed by cells with a well-defined nucleus, where their genetic material (DNA). The prokaryotic genome, on the other hand, lacks a membrane-bound nucleus. The major organization or content between these two genomes are:

- Prokaryotic genomes generally have less DNA and fewer genes than eukaryotic genomes.

- Prokaryotic genomes have fewer repeated sequences and noncoding, intragenic sequences than eukaryotic genomes.

- Most prokaryotic genomes are contained in one circular chromosome while most eukaryotic genomes are contained on several linear chromosomes.

- In general, eukaryotic genomes contain many introns, repeated sequences, and transposable elements.

Based on this, all of the above options are TRUE
