Genomic-things

Feleke Eriso

Abstract: 

The study of genomic-things is called biology. A genome is a complete set of a species characteristic number of DNA molecules or RNA in some biological viruses. Every individual genomic-thing of all species possesses a genome. A genomic-thing that does not possess a genome does not exist in this world. In our body one chromosome contains only one molecule of DNA. Each cell in our body has 46 chromosomes and therefore, each cell in our body contains 46 DNA molecules. Thus, the size of human (i.e., of Homo sapiens) genome is 46 DNA molecules. A genomic-thing is a product of reaction of its genome & its nutritive substances in its compatible environment.The genome of an individual organism contains all the information needed to build, or to synthesize that organism. The key objective of this paper was to prove that the terms genomic-things & nongenomic-things were correct to replace the erroneous ones namely, living-things & nonliving-things respectively. Scientists of biological sciences should discard soon the textbooks with the terms living-things & nonliving-things and substitute by textbooks written with genomic-things & nongenomic-things. Otherwise; it would be immoral for the scientists, because they are responsible/accountable for the global quality of biological science education. Active learning in science is doing things and thinking about the things being done to come up with understanding about them. Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen but thinking is what nobody else has thought!!
