Complete Haploid Set Of Chromosomes Of A Species Is :

A: Genotype
B: Genome
C: Genetic Code
D: Allele

The answer is: B

Explanation

The complete haploid set of chromosomes of a species is called its genome.

The genome of a species refers to the complete set of genetic material or DNA contained within the cells of that organism. In humans, the haploid genome consists of 23 chromosomes, with each chromosome containing thousands of genes that code for specific traits and characteristics. The genome is responsible for determining an organism's physical and behavioral traits, susceptibility to diseases, and response to environmental factors.

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual, including all the alleles of their genes. Genetic code refers to the sequence of nucleotides that determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Allele refers to the alternative forms of a gene that can exist, resulting in different variations of a trait.

Therefore, the correct answer is B: Genome.
