A genome is___________?
Correct answer: C. Full set of genes of an individual
- A. Appearance of an individual
- B. Genetic basis of few characters
- C. Full set of genes of an individual
- D. All of these
Explanation
A genome is the complete genetic material of an organism, including its full set of genes and associated DNA sequences. The appearance of an individual is its phenotype, while the genetic basis of selected characters is not the entire genome. Students may choose all of these by treating phenotype and a few genes as equivalent to the complete genetic complement.
