The minimum genome of Mycoplasma genitalium a. has 100 genes. b. has been used to create new species. c. has an RNA genome. d . is larger than the genome of $E .$ coli. e. was derived by transposon mutagenesis.
TRUE (A) OR FALSE (B) 1. Because of the Human Genome Project, scientists now know the function of all 21,000 human genes. 2. In eukaryotes, some genes with related functions are found on different chromosomes. 3. Borrelia burgdorferi has a genome of 0.5 million base pairs and little noncoding DNA. Borrelia burgdorferi is a prokaryote. 4. The genomes of eukaryotes vary greatly in size from 12 million base pairs in some to more than a trillion base pairs in other. 5. The amount of DNA in a prokaryotic cell is less than the amount of DNA in a eukaryotic cell.

The Mycoplasma Genome The complete genome of the simplest bacterium known, Mycoplasma genitalium, is a circular DNA molecule with 580,070 bp. Calculate the molecular weight and contour length (when relaxed) of this molecule. What is $L k_{0}$ for the Mycoplasma chromosome? If $\sigma=-0.06,$ what is $L k ?$
