Genome = the total genetic content (many genes) contained in a haploid set of

chromosomes in eukaryotes, in a single chromosome in bacteria, or in the DNA or RNA of viruses.

a gene = One unit of the genome, consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism

What can replace a gene in an animal's genome?

A new gene can be inserted into an animal's genome through genetic engineering techniques, such as gene editing or transgenesis. These techniques can replace a faulty gene with a functional one, or introduce a completely new gene into the genome. Additionally, gene therapy can be used to deliver therapeutic genes into an animal's cells to treat genetic disorders.

How does a gene differ from genome?

A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains the instructions to make a functional product like a protein, while a genome is the complete set of an organism's genetic material, including all its genes. Think of a gene as a single instruction in a recipe book, and the genome as the entire recipe book.
