Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the genome of a plant, we need to sequence all of its DNA, which is the complete genetic information of the organism. Sequencing all of its genes or proteins alone would not give us the complete picture of its genome. Counting the amount of RNA, DNA, and protein in its cells would provide different types of information and would not be sufficient to determine the genome. The number of chromosomes in the nucleus may give us an estimate of the genome size, but it would not provide the actual sequence of the DNA.
