<em>The approximate proportion of G + C content in the genome of E. coli has been reported to be 50%. According to Chargaff's rule, the amount of guanine in any DNA must be approximately equal to the amount of cytosine. </em>Hence,
if G + C = 50 and G = C,
then
G = C = 25
Therefore, the approximate percentage of guanine in the genome of <em>E. coli </em>would be 25.
The simplicity of the prokaryote bacteria cells can depict the origin of life. It is simply composed of microscopic unit enclosed in a plasma membrane and cell wall. The inside contains a small DNA molecule, ribosomes and cytoplasm (they have no organelles). They have been around for 2 billion years on earth before other organisms evolved from them.
