Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following best describes “genome”?
A
A section of DNA
B
A bundle of DNA
C
Every cell in your body has 23 pairs of genes
D
All of the genetic material in an organism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The genome is the set of all genes, regulatory sequences, and noncoding information within an organism’s DNA. Thus, the study of genomics considers all of the genetic material contained within and shared between organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -A genome is an organism’s complete set of genetic instructions. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop.

Detailed explanation-3: -All of an organism’s genetic material, including its genes and other elements that control the activity of those genes, is its genome. An organism’s entire genome is found in nearly all of its cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -A genome is all of the genetic material in an organism. It is made of DNA (or RNA in some viruses) and includes genes and other elements that control the activity of those genes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The complete set of information in an organism’s DNA is called its genome, and it carries the information for all the proteins the organism will ever synthesize. (The term genome is also used to describe the DNA that carries this information.)
