What might be different about getting DNA from bacteria or animals than getting it from plants

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-11-20] [Hit: ]
billion base pairs of DNA, whereas corn or maize,complex organism contains a similar number of base pairs.and lilly plants contain 10-100 times as much DNA as a human,......
Details please?!?

-
DNA is similar in all organisms but its primary structure is different.

In many ways, structurally, chemically, and in the nature of
reproduction/synthesis, plant DNA and animal DNA are very similar, if not
identical. So much so, that when we place genes from plants and animals
inside of bacteria, they will often follow those instructions and produce
a foreign protein instead. This is how human insulin for the treatment of
diabetes is produced in a bacteria.
The main difference between plant and animal DNA is in the
organization of genes and the size of the total genome, or how many base
pairs of DNA the organism has. As a rule, plants tend to have much larger
genomes than their animal counterparts, and they have a lerger portion of
garbage and intron DNA. Very few genes are present in this DNA, and it
tends to contain regions that are spliced out, or perhaps serve a
structural role in the shape, packing, and placement of the genome.
In terms of size for example, the human genome contains about 3-4
billion base pairs of DNA, whereas corn or maize, is perhaps a less
complex organism contains a similar number of base pairs. Some pine trees
and lilly plants contain 10-100 times as much DNA as a human, most of
which does not appear to encode any genes
