Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Noncoding DNA constitutes a smaller proportion of the genomes in unicellular organisms compared to multicellular organisms, and these organisms often exist in large population sizes. This is because smaller genomes can be replicated more quickly and efficiently, which is advantageous in large populations where resources might be limited and competition is high.
