All living organisms contain a certain number of chromosomes that make up their genetic composition. This genetic composition is the organism's GENOME. Genome refers to the total and complete set of genes or genetic content in the cell of an organism. Human beings are diploid organisms that contains a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes with each pair contributed by each parent.
