  • Understanding the Genome: DNA in a Single Cell
    All the DNA in one cell of an organism is called its genome.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Genome: The complete set of genetic instructions for an organism, including all the DNA within its cells.

    * DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that carries genetic information.

    * Cell: The basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.

    So, the genome is the sum total of all the DNA found within a single cell, which contains the blueprint for the entire organism.
