This is a very interesting article relating to Human Genome.

A genome is an organism’s complete set of genetic instructions. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build that organism and allow it to grow and develop (yourgenome.org). This article discusses the possible genetic combinations for humans due to the number of chromosomes and different traits formed.
Science has always been a very interesting topic to me throughout my life. Genomes and the human genome are some of the topics that most interested me in high school bio. This is mostly because of the complexity of how each human on this earth is made and how they function, grow, and evolve. Each person has an average of 3 meters of DNA inside of their body if you stretch it out into a string. Each individual has a different sequence in that 3 meter strand. In my opinion that is crazy how unique every human being is inside of their own body. It is also very interesting to me how each strand of DNA is read and interpreted. The body forms different traits from this strands and that is what makes the differences in traits of different people.
