Sorry - there's just no easy answer there. Some chromosomes are enormous and carry many genes, others are puny and contain very few genes. And chromosomes also differ in what proportion of their DNA is actually coding DNA. To give you a sense of the range, according to ensembl.org (a great genome browser website) human chromosome 1 is 250Mb and contains about 2,000 genes (a density of about 8 genes per Mb) and chromosome Y is about 60Mb and contains only about 50 genes (or a density of 0.83 genes per Mb). And that's just within a single species.

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 found in chromosomes?
about 25,000
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.
How are genes genomes and chromosomes related?
Chromosomes are strans of DNA genes are what chromosomes are made up of. A gene can be dominant or recessive and that is why one of you parents has brown eyes and the other has blue and you have brown because brown eyes is dominant and blue is recessive. Hope this helps
What is the possibility of one of many different genes on a chromosomes?
multiple alleles
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
Why some chromosomes are recessive and the others are domainent?
Actually a chromosome consists of many genes/alleles and is neither recessive or dominant in and of itself.
How many chromosomes are present in a eukaryote cell?
It depends on which organism it belongs to.
Do humans have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
How are genes chromosomes and DNA related?
if a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body celss, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
How many genes are found in chromosomes?
about 25,000
How many of your genes do you get from your mother?
23 chromosomes. you get another 23 chromosomes from your dad
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.
How many cells are in a eukaryote cell?
It depends on which organism it belongs to.
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.
How many genes are on the human chromosomes?
if i remember right its two sets of 23 chromosomes,
How many genes are in chromosomes?
Varies, depending on the chromosome
