Answer #1

It is false. There relationship between the genome size and the oen reading frame content , that is the nuber of protein coding genes is not linear. There is no fixed relationship between the genome size and the ORF content of organisms. Organisms with a smaller genome size might have larger number of protein coding genes and can be less complex than the organisms with larger genome size. For example the rice plant has a smaller genome than humans , however the number of ORFs is almost double that of humans.
