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.

These 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosomes present in the nucleus contains all the DNA, genes and nucleotide sequences of a human cell, hence, it accounts for the total genetic makeup of humans. This means that the 23 pairs of chromosomes contained in the cell of a human makes up our genome.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Usually the Y chromosome. It is recessive because if one Y chromosone is mutated with red-green colorblindness and the X is not, the child will have colorblindness. But, if one X chromosome has the mutation and the other X does not, they will cancel out, meaning the child will not have colorblindness.
