Solution

Genome:

  1. A genome sequence is a list of all the nucleotides that make up an individual's or species' chromosomes (A, C, G, and T for DNA genomes).
  2. A cell's genome is its entire set of DNA instructions.
  3. The genome of humans consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus and a single small chromosome in the mitochondria.
  4. A person's genome contains all of the information required for growth and function.

Location of the genome:

  1. The total DNA present in the nucleus of the cell, i.e. nuclear DNA of a eukaryotic cell, is referred to as the genome.
  2. The nucleus is missing in prokaryotic cells. They have a nucleoid, which is an irregularly shaped area that contains the majority of the genetic material.
