Comparisons of yeast and bacterial cell genomes have revealed that
A) yeast cells have more genes devoted to the basic functions of survival than bacteria do.
B) eukaryotic cells are structurally similar to bacterial cells in terms of complexity.
C) there are more genes for targeting proteins to organelles in yeast than in bacteria.
D) the histones of bacteria are very similar to those of yeast.
