Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The evolutionary processes that might have account for prokaryotes having smaller genome than the eukaryotes.
Introduction:
The eukaryotes are the organisms that have a true nucleus which means that their nucleus is surrounded by a membrane. Their other cell organelles are also membrane bound. They can be single celled or multicellular. The prokaryotes are the organisms that lack membrane bound organelles such as bacteria.

Q13. Genomes sizes among related eukaryotes vary much more widely than genome sizes among related bacteria.
How is this difference in variability best explained?
A. Evolutionary processes (e.g. natural selection) exert less constraint on genome size in eukaryotes than in bacteria.
B. Genome size is proportional to energy production - cells that make more ATP have more DNA.
C. Eukaryotes have a much wider range of chromosome number than bacteria.
D. Organisms with greater morphological complexity have larger genomes.
