   That is most easily done by simply finding out how many BP GO terms 
are in the annotation package.  All will be checked, depending a bit on 
your minimum number of genes per term setting, and that too can easily 
be determined from the annotation package.

   That seems like a bad assumption. Since they have different genes and 
numbers of genes the GO terms associated with those terms also are 
likely to be different.
