Its the other way around. We have 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. The number of genes per chromosome varies between 500 and 4,000, with a total of about 32,000 genes in the 46 chromosomes.

What is the possibility of one of many different genes on a chromosomes?
multiple alleles
Are chromosomes and sex cells the two major cells in your body?
No. Chromosomes are parts of cells, and sex cells are just one of many types of cells.
1Normal human lung cells contain two copies of chromosome 3 Together these are called a pair of homologous chromosomes How are homologous chromosomes similar and how are they different from one ano?
Homologous chromosomes have all the same genes however they may have different alleles (versions) of those genes.
Where in the cell are genes found?
In eukaryotic cells, most genes are on linear chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell. Some genes are on the circular chromosomes of mitochondria and chloroplasts.In prokaryotes, most genes are on the single circular chromosome in the nucleoid region of the cell. Other genes are on small circular molecules of DNA called plasmids.So basically, they are in the nucleus region :)
A particular organism has 40 chromosomes in one of its muscle cells How many chromosomes would be found in one of its gametes?
20 chromosomes
How many chromosomes are there in one of its reproductive cells formed by meiosis?
cells and genetics
What characteristics do chromosomes and genes share?
The cell's nuclear genome is contained within the genes that are located inside of the chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread like structures and are located inside of the nucleus in animal and plant cells.
How many chromosomes do you have in a cell found in your elbow?
The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans (the other is the Y chromosome). The sex chromosomes form one of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes in each cell. The X chromosome spans about 155 million DNA building blocks (base pairs) and represents approximately 5 percent of the total DNA in cells. Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. Early in embryonic development in females, one of the two X chromosomes is randomly and permanently inactivated in cells other than egg cells. This phenomenon is called X-inactivation or Lyonization. X-inactivation ensures that females, like males, have one functional copy of the X chromosome in each body cell. Because X-inactivation is random, in normal females the X chromosome inherited from the mother is active in some cells, and the X chromosome inherited from the father is active in other cells. Some genes on the X chromosome escape X-inactivation. Many of these genes are located at the ends of each arm of the X chromosome in areas known as the pseudoautosomal regions. Although many genes are unique to the X chromosome, genes in the pseudoautosomal regions are present on both sex chromosomes. As a result, men and women each have two functional copies of these genes. Many genes in the pseudoautosomal regions are essential for normal development. Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. Because researchers use different approaches to predict the number of genes on each chromosome, the estimated number of genes varies. The X chromosome likely contains between 900 and 1,400 genes. These genes perform a variety of different roles in the body. (Note: So I believe your answer will be 46; 23x2)
How many gene is present in one chromosomes?
A given gene is present on exactly two chromosomes in a somatic cell.
How many cells are in a eukaryote cell?
It depends on which organism it belongs to.
What is the process of passing genes from one genaration to another?
The DNA pass on genes from one generation to the other through chromosomes of the male and female gametes during sexual reproduction and through its nucleus of somatic cells in vegetative reproduction.
What is the relationship between alleles and chromosomes?
All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.
