Question

Which of the following statements on genome is NOT true:

            a. Human genome contains billions of bases

            b. contain nucleosomes

            c. Is found in histones

            d. Found in the nucleus

            e. Every haploid cell has genome

Answer 1

Statements on genome that are not true are as follows-

a. Human genome contains billions of bases

Human genome contains billions of base pairs. Genome is basically the total DNA content of organisms. So Dna is made up of base pairs. Hence genome is made up of billions of DNA base pairs

c-found in histones

Histones are proteins and hence they are not genome.Genome is the total Dna of a organism.

Yes Genome is present in nucleus. Haploid cell means it has half number of chromosomes or genetic material than a diploid cell, but yes it do have Dna present in their cells.

Nucleosomes are the packing units of Dna and hence they are present in genome at lower packing levels.
