Summary Introduction
To review:
The comparison between the sizes of the chromosome of bacteriophage lambda and T2 with those of Escherichia coli(E. coli) alsocompare the appearance and size of mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Introduction:
The compact form of DNA is arranged into chromosomes. These chromosomes vary in size from organism to organism. The genetic diversity in an organism arises due to recombination of chromosomes, which occurs during meiosis. The mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA follows maternal inheritance pattern.
