There is not a direct relationship. The reason is, much of the DNA in organisms is non-coding, that is, does not contain genes. Non-coding DNA can be duplicated or lost (as can coding DNA), so in theory, a less complex organism can, through duplications of its non-coding DNA, generate a larger overall genome than a more complex organism.
Not necessarily. An onion has around 12 times as much DNA as we do, but they are certainly not more complex than we are. Although it is true, "onions have layers." But so do we. Scientists have been perplexed by this question for a while, but some Harvard research has suggested that not all DNA is functional -- some is "junk DNA." And some species dispose of their junk DNA, while others continue to replicate it. This could explain why seemingly simple species have a higher number of chromosomes -- they are simply hoarding their useless DNA.
Some fruits DO have more DNA than others. This is because of the mass and the juice of the fruit.
Bacterial DNA is more interesting
Bacterial DNA is more interesting
Nowhere near. Besides the fact that our DNA is much more complex than that of insects, DNA is individualized to a species and even more variance between individuals of the same
generally yes. because when a cell has DNA that are nucleosomes they generally go through mitosis or meiosis. this makes them more complex than say bacteria which have plasmids as their DNA structure instead of nucleosomes and go through binary fission instead of mitosis or meiosis
Conjugation in bacteria is less complex because the DNA is only transferred to the one other cell. Conjugation in protist is more complex because the DNA from both cells are being put together to form a whole new cell.
Eukaryotic cells are, on average, ten times the size of prokaryotic cells.Genomic composition and lengthThe DNA of eukaryotes is much more complex and therefore much more extnsive than the DNA of prokaryotes.
I think It's because RNA is less complex than DNA.
They are called Rna viruses. Rna retro-viruses are a different and somewhat more complex matter.
Chromosomes contain the genes or the DNA of all organisms. Being more complex, does not mean that you have more chromosomes, for example: a human being has 48 chromosomes while chickens and dogs both have 78.
A complex molecule is a molecule that contains many atoms. Examples of some types of complex molecules are DNA, lipids, and hydrocarbons The opposite would be molecules such as salt and water

Far more complex.
No a worm is more complex than a jellyfish
Yes, it is a very complex molecule.
