There is an enormous variation in genome size, but the organismal complexity does not correlate well with genome size. Select one: a. Most eukaryotic nuclear genomes are made up of multiple linear chromosomes. b. In addition to the main nuclear genome, eukaryotic genome complexity is increased with the genes of mitochondria and chloroplasts. c. Transposable elements make up a large portion of eukaryotic genomes. d. A very large fraction of eukaryotic genomes codes for proteins.
