Because amoebas are more advanced in their design then bacteria, therefore they need the chromosomes to encode that information. Examples are like how amoebas have membrane bound nucleus and many organelles, in contrast bacteria lack these things. Also amoebas are much larger in size. However amoebas have many very small chromosomes, while bacteria have one larger one. So the amount of information on each chromosome is also in large contast
