BOW Genome: Introduction

The human genome comprises of twenty three pairs of chromosomes all of which are arranged from largest to smallest with the exception of chromosome pair number twenty three. Haig believed that each chromosome plays a different or specific role in determining who we are. Each set of chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father, has approximately thirty thousand to eighty thousand genes. the organization of chromosomes are broken into genes which are then broken into exons, then introns, codons, and finally bases. The DNA would go through replication, and translation to end up with a double helix. It woudl also be transcribed by RNA to create proteins. Many mutations are neither harmful nor beneficial.
