Extracted text: The gene density for each organism is shown in the last column of this data table. Organism Size of genome (base pairs) Size of Genome (Mb) Number of Genes Gene density (genes per Mb) H. influenzae (bacterium) 1.8 million 1.8 1700 944 S. cerevisiae (yeast) 12 million 12 6300 525 E. coli (bacterium) 4.6 million 4.6 4400 957 C. elegans (roundworm) 100 million 100 20100 201 D. melanogaster (fruit fly) 165 million 165 14000 85 A. thaliana (mustard plant) 120 million 120 25500 213 O. sativa (rice) 430 million 430 42000 98 H. sapiens (human) 3.0 billion 3000 21000 7 R. norvegicus (lab rat) 2.8 billion 2800 20000 7 P. troglodytes (chimanzee) 3.1 billion 3100 20000 6. M. mulatta (macaque) 2.9 billion 2900 22000 8 O.anatinus (duck-billed platypus) 1.8 billion 1800 18500 10 P. persica (peach) 227 million 227 27900 123 Use the table to identify three statements that are true regarding the genomes of organisms. More complex organisms (e.g., vertebrates) generally have larger genome sizes. An organism's number of genes is not a good predictor of its gene density. A genome size of 2 billion base pairs is the same as a genome size of 200 Mb. Humans have a smaller genome size than yeast. More complex organisms (e.g., vertebrates) generally have lower gene densities than less complex organisms (e.g., bacteria).
