A: Since enzymes/proteins are the major workhorses of biological processes, they are of direct functional importance, as supported by the observation of enriched synonymous mutations in CDS(coding sequence) under a selection pressure. However, in system like influenza viruses and bacteria, it is beneficial to have a smaller genome both for efficient replication and for lower mutation load, where DNA is directed selected for.
