What are genomes????


Genomes are ,instructional manual,information about any living organism.

Inside your body you have 100 trillion cells. There are different kinds - skin cells, blood cells, brain cells etc. Cells can die and your body makes new ones.


INSIDE EACH CELL there is a nuclear. c


INSIDE the nucleus, there are a person’s chromosomes. 

A person has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). 


INSIDE EACH chromosome is that person’s DNA. 

DNA is shaped in a double-helix (two spirals together). This is the TWO SETS of DNA.

A gene is MADE OF DNA. 


You get your genes from your parents (you inherit them). 


They decide the information for your body - hair colour, skin colour, height, disposition to medical conditions etc.
