- A researcher sequences the genome of a variety of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. She finds that the bacterial genome is smaller, but that there are more genes for a given number of base pairs in the eukaryotic cells. In other words, there are fewer genes per unit of length of DNA in the eukaryotic cells. What do you predict she will find if she examines the DNA more closely? A. All of the bacterial DNA consists of coding sequences, but this is not true of the eukaryotic DNA. B. There are more repetitive sequences in the eukaryotic DNA than in the bacterial DNA. C. There are densely packed genes in the eukaryotic DNA that were not immediately distinguishable during the first analysis. D. The bacteria have larger quantities of noncoding DNA than the eukaryotic cells.arrow_forwardList the steps to make a genomic library.
