<prompt> Human genome contains --- base pairs3 x 10 93 x 10 83 x 10 73 x 10 6  <response>: The haploid human genome containing only 1 copy of each chromosome consists of roughly 3 billion of these base pairs grouped into 23 chromosomes. A human being inherits two sets of genomes one from each parent, and thus two sets of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes, representing the diploid genome, which contains about 6x109 base pairs.
