What is the human genome? Explain what it consists of and where it is located within the body. Write it as an email addressed to Mr. Smith who was asking about it. Sign it “Your Friend.” Keep it to 150 words or less.
Mr. Smith,

I understand you were curious about the human genome. The human genome is the complete set of instructions found within our DNA that has all the information needed for a person to develop and function. DNA is the molecule that every living organism uses to store genetic information. They are composed of nucleotides which the human genome has over 3 billion of. DNA molecules are found within every cell in our bodies and for humans, consist of 23 different pairs of chromosomes. The different chromosomes are responsible for different aspects of human development. I hope this makes sense and helps you out with your curiosities. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.

Sincerely,
Your Friend
