The gene content of these genomes also scales proportionally with genome size. For a very small genome with less that about 1000 reading frames (or ORFs), what two functions would you expect most of the genes to encode from the list below? DNA replication Transcription factors C Translation Signal transduction Energy generation 8 0

Explanation / Answer

The two functions that the genome will encode most is DNA replication and Energy generation.

Energy will be required for the organism to grow and reproduce. DNA replication will help the organism to reproduce and pass its genome to the next generation.
