  4.    none of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> E, coli has lost approximately 50% of its genome

  1.    Because it requires a great deal of water to reproduce
  2.    Because it is unable to use carbohydrates as an energy source
  3.    Because it lacks the genes needed for TCA cycle and oxidative phosphorylation
  4.    Because it requires extremely low temperature at which water freezes
 Discuss Question
