The human genome is made of 46?
chromosomes
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.
What it is a genome?
A genome is the complete set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism. It is also the same in every cell of a multicellular organism, like a human.
Does the chromosome number changes throughout the human life cycle?
No a normal human will always have 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a normal individual carry?
A normal human has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
How many pairs of the human genome?
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human genome.
Why must gametes be haploids?
It must join with the other gamete to form a diploid number of chromosomes. If it had a diploid number to begin with, the result would be twice the normal amount of chromosomes. A normal cell had "2n" number of chromosomes, and each gametes have "n". If they had "2n" to begin with, the resulting zygote would have "4n", which is clearly not normal in human genome.
What is the human genome made of?

What is the name of scientific program to construct maps of human chromosomes?
human genome project
What is the normal diploid for a human being?
The normal diploid number of chromosomes for humans is 46.
What is a human genome?
Human genome, all of the approximately three billion base pairs of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that make up the entire set of chromosomes of the human organism.
What is the number of chromosomes in the human sex cell?
Human gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the normal number of chromosomes. Since our full number is 46, sperm and eggs have 23.
What does the sequencing of all 3.2 billion nucleotide bases on all human chromosomes describe?
the human genome
