What is the difference between the concepts of karyotype and genome?..

Answer / Anju Kumari

The genome refers to the complete set of genetic material present in an organism, including DNA and RNA. Karyotype, on the other hand, specifically refers to the number, size, and shape of chromosomes as visualized under a microscope during cell division. A karyotype is a specific representation of an individual's genome.
