Jairo Randall · Answer 1

have substantial variability in gene count.

display variability in GC content.

vary dramatically in the number and the size of introns contained.

Explanation:

Microbial genomes encompass extra chromosomal genetic material. They are widely variable and has substantial variability in gene count. They reflect diversity of bacteria and lower eukaryotic. They vary in number and size of introns contained in them. Microbial genome has demonstrated variability in GC content.

Paulina Stafford · Answer 2

have substantial variability in gene count

display variability in GC content

vary dramatically in the number and the size of introns contained.

Explanation:

The genome of an organism basically refers to the total number of genes in the genetic bank of an organism. The genome will be composed of a number of genes each having a different set of instructions and gene expression. In addition, there is variability in the number of genes in the genetic bank. This results in a variation in the organisms of the same postulation. Thus the phenotype will be different for the same gene banks. In addition, the number of the non-sense codons, or introns will vary immensely. This results in the difference in the length of the genetic information and the proteins expressed.
