Question about genome size

Reference no: EM1381397

Question: Look up the genome size (in terms of base pairs) of the following organism: Escherichia coli, Homo sapiens (human), Zea mays (corn), Li Hum longiflorum (Easter lily), Protopterus aethiopicus (lungfish), D. melanogaster (fruit tly), HIV. What kind of conclusions can you draw from the data you've looked up? (Think about sizes, species, prokaryotic vs. eukaryotic cells.)
