The proportion of non-repetitive DNA is calculated by using the length of non-repetitive DNA divided by genome size. Protein-coding genes and RNA-coding genes are generally non-repetitive DNA. A bigger genome does not mean more genes, and the proportion of non-repetitive DNA decreases along with increasing genome size in higher eukaryotes. COUNT 3
QSN1 What are two types of non-repetitive DNA? ANS1 Protein-coding genes and RNA-coding genes QSN2 In higher eukaryotes, what has an inverse relationship with genome size? ANS2 proportion of non-repetitive DNA QSN3 What is the size of non-repetitive DNA divided by to get the proportion of non-repetitive DNA? ANS3 genome size
