Over 100 microbial genomes have been sequenced.Beyond yielding insight into microbial genetics,these sequencing projects have been important because:
A)they allow insights into microbial pathogenicity.
B)knowing how many chromosomes a microbe has lets us know if it causes disease.
C)without the sequence of the genome we cannot tell what the organism uses as its genetic material.
D)it demonstrates that microorganisms do not cause infectious diseases.
