None of the statements are true. Some plants have larger genomes than some animals, but it varies widely within each group. Humans do not have the largest genome size of all animals; lungfish, for example, have much larger genomes. While bacterial genomes are typically smaller than those of eukaryotic organisms, much of the bacterial genome codes for functional genes.
