If you think about what is required for a mammal to survive multiple environments it seems intuitive the more environments a mammal can survive the more genes is needed to create different phenotypes (observable…
Not true. Majority of bacterial cells have far less genes than 15,000.
Agreed, number of bases gives little information about the complexity of an organism. Genes is a better metric.
