    Bacteria and archaea genomes typically range from 1 to 6 million base pairs, while eukaryotic genomes are usually larger. Most plants and animals have genomes over 100 million base pairs, and the human genome is around 3 billion base pairs. Despite differences in genome size within domains, there is no consistent relationship between an organism's genome size and its observable characteristics.
