Different terminologies like, chromosomes, chromatids, genes, chromatin, DNA exist depending upon the structural organisation and the function of the genetic material in the cell.

Simple definition of genome can be understood as the basic genetic material required for the proper growth, development and functioning of the living organism. Genomes are essentially made of a genetic material, most of the times it is DNA and in case of some viruses, RNA also.

These random combinations of the DNA nucleotides leads to the formation of variety of the genes with specific function. Genes are then transcribed into an RNA which enable ribosomes to read the coded information in the gene. Thus the required gene products can be formed depending upon the gene function. If the gene codes the information for the protein synthesis then it will produce mRNA. In case if the gene product is a part of the ribosomes it may produce rRNA.
