Best Answer

There is essentially one genome for Bos primigenius(cattle), but many variations of that genome (one for each specimen). Some variations are peculiar to specific varieties. Cows have 60 chromosomes, close to double the human complement of 46.

Where are genomes found?

Genomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, which contain the DNA responsible for encoding all the genetic information of an organism. In prokaryotes, such as bacteria, genomes are found in the nucleoid region, which is not a true nucleus but contains the DNA. However, some organisms also have genomes in other cellular compartments, such as mitochondria or chloroplasts.
