Which term names the total collection of DNA in an organism?

genetic modification

genotype

protein sequence

genome

The term which names the total collection of DNA in an organism is Genome.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

The Genome of a living creature is the whole of its genetics information that is converted and stored in its DNA. Genome consists of genes which influence the characteristics of every organism.

The term Genome was first coined by Winkler in the year 1920. The term is generally applied for the total set or collection of a nuclear DNA. Every human's genome consists of a DNA of 3.2 billion bases. The size of genome differs from organism to organism.

Genome is the term that names the total collection of DNA in an Organism.

Explanation:

An genome of an organism stores complete or entire set of DNA. It provides all of the information that is needed for an organism to function properly. These genome is stored in long molecules of DNA known as chromosomes. Small sections of DNA, genes are small sections of DNA that code for the RNA and protein molecules that is needed by the organism. In eukaryotes, genome is packed within a membrane-bound structure called the nucleus. In Prokaryotes Genomes are stored in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. Transcriptome is the full range of RNA molecules expressed by a genome and proteome is the full assortment of proteins given by the genome.
