q4. identify which statement is false [0.5pts] a. eukaryotic genomes are larger than prokaryotic genomes. b. within eukaryotes, genome size is a reliable predictor of phenotypic complexity. c. eukaryotes have lower gene densities than prokaryotes. d. most eukaryotic dna does not code for protein.

Sagot :

The eukaryotes have lower gene densities than prokaryotes' statement is false.

Prokaryotic genomes have substantially greater gene densities than eukaryotic genomes, which is defined as the number of genes per million base pairs (also known as a megabase, or Mb). The human genome has 12–15 genes per megabyte or genes.

Compared to prokaryotes, the gene density of eukaryotic nuclear genomes is typically low, but certain eukaryotic lineages (including numerous parasites and endosymbionts) have independently evolved extremely compacted gene-dense genomes.

Prokaryotes are simpler organisms, hence their gene density is larger. Gene density has an inverse relationship with complexity. Eukaryotes, which are more complex organisms, have lower gene densities than prokaryotes, which are simpler organisms.
