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 DNA and a chromosome has to deal with an intermediary-genes. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, which is a nucleic acid. It is made up of four bases-adenin â¦ e, cytosine, guanine and thymine.When these four bases are arranged in a segment, it is called a gene.here are many such sections on the DNA string-thus it contains (also calls 'codes') many genes-in humans between 500 and 4500 depending on what chromosome. One gene contains information for producing one particular protein. It is the sequence of bases (T, C, G or A) in the DNA gene section that defines which protein.
