This answer is incorrect. The answer above answers the question:
How many chromosomes are in the human genome?
Chromosomes are made up of genes and in the human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, the human genome is theorized to have 20,000-25,000 genes
So assuming (unrealistically) that every chromosome carried the same amount of genetic material (which they don't), then the answer would be 22,500/23 (for approximations sake).

How many genes are found on each of your chromosomes?
Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), chromosomes are long strands of genes, and since the chromosomes come in pairs, so do the genes. There are 25,000 genes in the entire human genome, and since the haploid chromosome number is 23, there are about 100's of genes on the shorter chromosomes and approximately thousands on the longer chromsomes.
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Genes are located on chromosomes and not chromosomes are located on genes. genes are the basic unit of inheritance and they resides on chromosomes.
What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
DNA is in genes, and genes are in chromosomes.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.
Are hereditary information stored in ribosomes with chromosomes that have many genes?
Hereditary information is stored inside the nucleus, which does have chromosomes that contain many genes. DNA is an important part of determining who we are.
Do chromosomes have the same or different genes?
There are many more genes than chromosomes. The Human Genome Project currently has identified about 20,000 protein-coding genes, while there are only 46 chromosomes in the human genome.
Do humans have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
How many genes are on the human chromosomes?
if i remember right its two sets of 23 chromosomes,
Do human cells have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.

What describes the relationship between the number of genes and the number of chromosomes in human skin cells?
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
How many chromosomes are in 1 pair of chromosomes?
There are 46 chromosomes (condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide), and 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.
Are Men genes closer to other non human males then woman human?
Human males' genes are more similar to the genes of human females than those of males of other species. Humans have 46 chromosomes; other species have other numbers of chromosomes.
Human traits controlled by a number of genes?
there are 42 chromosomes in the human body
Is a chromosome larger than a gene?
There are 25,000 human genes on 23 chromosomes. There are hundreds of genes on the smaller chromosomes and thousands on the bigger ones.
What cell carries about 25000 genes in 46 chromosomes?
Human
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
