"Generally speaking, the simpler the lifeform, the shorter the DNA chain."

So would an Amoeba have a very short chain?

Or maybe no chaing at all?

Generally speaking, compared to a whale or a human... yes.

Some information on DNA chain size:

http://dwb.unl.edu/Teacher/NSF/C08/C08Links/gregor.rutgers.edu/genetics/Week17/Lecture17-1.html

Note that *in* *general* simpler critters have smaller DNA... but some have wildly unneccesary DNA sizes. Onions, it seems, have three times as much genetic data as humans.

Once more, this is evidence for evolution. The bulk of that genetic information is useless (or, worse, dangerous via genetic diseases and cancers) junk left over, the sort of thing evolution would predict but the sort of thing a competant designer would not include.
