The evolution of genome size and base composition of DNA from various reptiles has been studied. DNA amount was measured cytophotometrically and GC concentration estimated by thermal denaturation. The Reptilia appear to be a fairly homogeneous group with respect to DNA quantity, although chelonians

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
The nuclear DNA content was studied histophotometrically in 49 reptilian species. The results obtained indicate that species of three orders show DNA values falling within similar variability range.

This manuscript examines genome size in bacteria. The opposing capability of bacteria to alter their genome sizes and order of genes within limits yet remain somewhat constant provides a mechanism for diversity and evolution in bacterial populations. Bacteria may have evolved by increasing their gen
