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.

About Structure of DNA
DNA structure includes nucleotides made of deoxyribose, phosphate and nitrogenous bases, arranged in two antiparallel polynucleotide strands. Questions cover the double helix, phosphodiester and hydrogen bonds, complementary base pairing between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine, and the significance of major and minor grooves.
