Explanation / Answer

12. When comparing the genomes(i.e sizes of bacteria chromosomes in number of DNA base pairs),parasitic bacteria have the smallest genome(0.5 million bps) because genes for many metabolic pathways have been reduced as they mostly depends on hosts. While soil bacteria(e.g Bradyrhizobium sp.) have the largest genome(just over 9 million bps) as they have to perform so many activities like N2 fixation,symbiosis etc.
