The typical eukaryotic genome has multiple double-stranded linear DNA chromosomes in the nucleus, with body cells being diploid and sex cells being haploid.
Which of the following correctly describes the structure of the typical eukaryotic genome? The correct answer is: b) Multiple chromosomes in the nucleus. The eukaryotic genome consists of several double-stranded linear DNA molecules, each forming a chromosome. These chromosomes are located within the cell's nucleus. A somatic cell is typically diploid, meaning it contains two sets of chromosomes (designated as 2n), while gametes, or sex cells, like sperm and eggs, are haploid and contain one set of chromosomes (designated as n).
