Genome sizes vary because viruses and bacteria have small genomes, prokaryotes typically have smaller genomes than eukaryotes, and plant genome sizes can vary dramatically due to self-fertilization and polyploidy.
Los tamaños de los genomas varían porque los virus y bacterias tienen genomas pequeños, los procariotas tienen genomas más pequeños que los eucariotas, y los genomas de las plantas pueden variar drásticamente debido a la autofecundación y poliploidía.
