In the most basic terms, genome is the genetic material of an organism. It is what tells the organism what to be and how to be. The genome is coded in DNA, or in RNA for many types of viruses. The term, genome, was coined in the 1920, as a portmanteau of gene and chromosome.
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that s â¦ tores genetic information. gene is not a single structure or thing. It is made up of the micro-structures that determine a trait. These micro-structures are primarily chromosomes. Chromosomes are pieces of DNA.
