What are the limits of genomes: what we can what we cannot

Expert Solution

Genome is the total amount of the genetic material that is stored in the form of biological information in the particular organism may it be prokaryotes or eukaryotes. It can be in the form of DNA or RNA.

Genome is diverse for eukaryotes and prokaryotes. For example the eukaryotic genome is made up of two parts :

1- Nuclear genome

2- Organelles (it consists of both mitochondrial and chloroplast).

The genome is quantifies on the basis of the amount of DNA present and the value is know as C-value. This value is different for different species, it ranges from <10⁶ bps (basepairs in smallest prokayotes ) to <10¹¹ bps for eukaryotes (amphibians).

The limits can be immeasurable with growing technique of genetic engineering.
