Write a short essay that contrasts the major differences between the organization of DNA in viruses and bacteria versus eukaryotes.

Video transcript

Hello, everyone and welcome to today's video. So how do bacteria compress their D N A to fit into smaller spaces? Well, let's think about this question in the following way. First of all, we have answer choice by wrapping it around his stones. Remember that most bacteria do not have his stones. This is mostly an economic trade because of this. This is an incorrect answer choice and we're going to cancel it out. Then we have seen by fragmenting the D N A by fragmenting the D N A, we're breaking it apart into smaller pieces. This is what fragmentation means. So it is not really going to help compress the DNA rather break it apart. So we're going to cancel this out as well. Then we have through the removal of non coding genes while these non coding genes or what we call entrance or removed via M RNA splicing, which is not really associated with D N A. We don't really take away known coding genes from their chromosomes because of this. This is an incorrect answer choice as well and we're going to cancel it out. So now bacteria do in order to fit their DNA into smaller spaces to condense it, they're going to undergo super coiling. So via super coiling, they're going to condense their D N A into a bowl which is a lot smaller than it previously was allowing it to fit into smaller spaces. Because of this answer. Choice B is the correct answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you in the next one.
