Document Summary
Genomes: genome = the sum of the genetic information contained within an organism ie: the total resistance, allergy, temperament, personality etc, why do we study genomes: In order to understand organisms their genomes are number of base pairs of dna in a single set of chromosomes. Genes influence nearly every character/phenotype of an organism eg: size, disease. Genomes give sight into human evolution eg: humans and chimpanzees share 98% of. The more similar two organism"s ge(cid:374)o(cid:373)e se(cid:395)ue(cid:374)ces, the (cid:373)o(cid:396)e closely (cid:396)elated they: genomes are located in the nucleus, mitochondrion and nucleus of eukaryote cells ( . Nuclear = phylogenies in deep time, understanding. Different information can be gained from different genomes eukaryotes contain more than one genome) evolutionary studies gene function, diversity of animals and humans. Organization of nuclear genomes: of and more to genes genes. Can replicate and transpose are self-maintaining. Elements encode enzymes required for their transposition into new sites in the dna-
