This phenomenon of varying amounts of DNA is more typical in eukaryotes than in prokaryotes. Eukaryotes have complex genome structures, including introns, regulatory regions, and repetitive sequences, which contribute to their larger genome size. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, have relatively simple genome structures and lack introns and many other features that contribute to genome size variability.
