Biology 1002B Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Transfer Rna, Intron, Ribosomal Rna
Document Summary
?relative sizes of typical mitochondrial, chloroplast and nuclear genomes. The nuclear genome has the largest genome by far (orders of magnitude bigger), the chloroplast has much fewer base pairs (about 200 kb) with the mitochondrion having the fewest base pairs (about 16 kb) The typical prokaryote e. coli has a much bigger genome than that of the organelles. This suggests that lateral gene transfer has occurred, making the genome in the organelles much smaller than expected for a typical prokaryotic cell. Clamey has 100 thousand kilabases (100 thousand base pairs) Chloroplast has dna in it, only 200 kilabases. This genomes has gone from 5000 kilabases down to 115 over evolutionary time. Not all protein coding genes (junk dna, dead) All rna"s are made by transcrption of genes. Might be protein coding gene or might be rna coding gene. ****rubisco structure and assembly from components coded by different genomes.
