The total length of the human genome is over 3 billion base pairs. The genome is organized into 22 paired chromosomes, plus the X chromosome (one in males, two in females) and, in males only, one Y chromosome. These are all large linear DNA molecules contained within the cell nucleus.
The genome is an organismâs complete set. of DNA. Genomes vary widely in size: The smallest. known genome for a free-living organism (a bac-. terium) contains about 600,000 DNA base pairs, while human and mouse genomes have some. 3 billion (see p. 3). Except for mature red blood. cells, all human cells contain a complete genome.
