You are here. The Planets in Natural Colors. Several teachers and students have asked what the planets look like in true or natural colors. They've noticed that each planet's appearance can vary greatly in photographs, and that many of the photographs are labeled as a false-color view. Many times scientists enhance the colors, or contrast of an image to draw out more detail.
A critical feature of DNA is the ability of the nucleotides to make specific pairs: . Adenine pairs with Thymine and Cytosine pairs with Guanine. The human genome of Homo sapiens is stored on 23 chromosome pairs. 22 of these are autosomal chromosome pairs, while the remaining pair is sex-determining. The haploid human genome occupies a total of just over 3 billion DNA base pairs that means 6 billion base pairs per diploid cell.
The human genome is composed of 3 billion base pairs of DNA, which is 1 m in length. Genomic DNA is distributed into 23 distinct chromosomes: 22 autosomes and one of two types of sex chromosomes (X or Y) in a haploid germ line cell.nalyses of the Human Genome Project revealed that the human genome contains about 22,000 genes. These genes occupy only 5% of the genome, and the remaining 95% is related to the function, behavior, and inheritance of the chromosomes. Further analyses are needed to better understand chromosomes as vehicles for genes.
