Bacterial genomes:
A)have rarely been sequenced as it takes a very long time.
B)only contain adenine,uracil,cytosine and guanine.
C)contain all the information for the structure and functioning of a cell.
D)when sequenced 100% of the genes are with known cellular function.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bacterial genomes contain all the information for the structure and functioning of a cell.

Answer: B
 Bacterial genomes only contain adenine, uracil, cytosine and guanine, which are the four types of nitrogenous bases found in DNA.

Answer: Neither A nor D
 Bacterial genomes have been sequenced extensively, and the time required for sequencing has decreased significantly with advances in technology. Furthermore, not all genes in bacterial genomes have been assigned a known cellular function, meaning that some genes remain uncharacterized.
