Chapter 12, Problem 2.2Q
Summary Introduction

To find: The size of the genome in the given bacterium in terms of the protein-coding gene.

Introduction: In bacteria, the protein-coding gene contains a promoter, coding sequence for the protein and a terminator. The promoter specifies the position from where transcription is initiated. The coding sequence contains coding information for the polypeptide chain. The terminator specifies the position where the mRNA transcript ends.

Summary Introduction

To find: The size of the core genome in the given bacterium.

Introduction: The genes that are present in all strains of a species are known as core gene. The core genome depicts the genes present in all strains of a specific species. The core genome includes the genes for the cell envelope or other regulatory functions.

Summary Introduction

To describe: The size of pan-genome in the given bacterium

Introduction: The pan genome includes all genes and genetic variation present within a specific species. The pan-genome of a species includes core genes that are present in all strains and redundant genes that provide a selective benefit under specific conditions.
