Claim: Genome evolution can be seen by examining the differences in characteristics of e.coli and human genomes, such as size, structure, and number of chromosomes or DNA molecules.
Evidence: Genome Size (base pairs) Genome Structure Number of chromosomes DNA segregated in the nucleus 4.6 Mb 3.2 Gb Circular Linear 1 46 No Yes While the E. coli genome is roughly 4.6Mb in length, in comparison the Human genome is much larger with a size of approximately 3.2Gb.
