Document Summary
*rna made by genome but not apart of the genome. Genome consists of coding and non-coding material. Not just genes, but for eg. regulatory sequence etc. Entire genetic complement of a living organism. Separate the different levels using this pyramid: Most basic level of organization in genome. Core building blocks necessary to create an organism. Put together into words, then sentences, paragraphs, chapters - therefore telling a story. Genes code for the production of protein. Noncoding (regulatory rnas, rrnas) - not translated into proteins. Not always haphazard which genes go on which chromosome. Way in which they are organized dictates expression. Usually, we think uniquely of just the nuclear genome but also includes. Genome makes up the entirety of all these levels. Linear dna molecules - 22 sets of autosomes and 1 set of sexual chromosomes. All eukaryotes have the same structure - split into a set of linear dna molecules. Number of chromosomes vary between eukaryotes themselves.
