The Genomes of Free-Living Spirochetes Are Larger Than Those Living

question 52

Multiple Choice

The genomes of free-living spirochetes are larger than those living in animal hosts. Why might this be so?

• A) Free-living spirochetes will need genes for additional proteins to synthesize or obtain their own food from the environment. Parasitic spirochetes obtain nutrients from the animal host.
• B) The spirochetes in animal hosts are different species entirely. As different species, they would naturally have smaller genomes.
• C) A smaller genome implies simplicity-the spirochetes living in animal hosts have fewer needs, so they need fewer genes.
• D) It isn't so-all spirochetes would have the same size genomes, since they're all the same species of microbe.
• E) Parasitic spirochetes are smaller than free-living spirochetes. Because of this, their genomes are also smaller; they need less genes.
