Question
Chapter 21, Problem 2COQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The similarities and dissimilarities in the characteristics of the genomes of bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes.
Introduction: Genome is defined as the complete genetic material that is present in an organism. It consists of both the coding as well as the non-coding parts of DNA. Genomic is the study of the genome. There are majorly two types of organisms that are present in nature: prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
