Genome
- is an organism's complete set of genetic instructions or genetic information.
- It consists of chromosomes that has nucleotide sequences of DNA
- It contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop
Genes:
- The basic unit of heredity occupies a specific location on a chromosome.
- consists of DNA, code for a specific protein leading to a particular characteristic.
DNA:
- functional and heredity unit
- made of nucleotides
Chromosomes:
- A complex molecule made of protein and genes
- stores information has genes like beads on strings.
Nucleotide:
- unit of nucleic acid or DNA
- coding parts
- has four bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
