The complete set of instructions for making an organism is called its
genome. It contains the master blueprint for all cellular structures
and activities for the lifetime of the cell or organism. Found in every
nucleus of a persons many trillions of cells, the human genome
consists of tightly coiled threads of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
and associated protein molecules, organized into structures called
chromosomes
