Question 22 (1 point) When comparing the genomes of bacteria and archaea, we can conclude that both have similar distributions of both their gene lengths and intergenic spacing. However, if we look closer, we can also say that: Bacteria appear to have a higher percentage of smaller genes within their genome compared to archaea. The intergenic regions within the archaeal genome occasionally encodes structural RNA and, rarely, small proteins. The largest archaeal genes are marginally bigger than the largest bacterial genes. Like what is seen in Eukaryotes, larger prokaryotic genomes contain a higher proportion of intergenic material. .
