No, chromosomes are smaller than cells. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells which codes for the synthesis of proteins.
No, chromosomes are not larger than a cell. They are much smaller than a cell, and are actually smaller than the nucleus.
No, in fact, they are much smaller. All genes are stored inside the nucleus in a form of DNA. A nucleus is an organelle that is within a cell.
Much much larger.
46 chromosomes. The only cells in the human body that do not contain 46 chromosomes are specialist cells which have no cell nucleus (eg a human red blood cell) and reproductive cells, which only contain 23 chromosomes. Thus the cheek cell of the animal would be no different from any other cell in its number of chromosomes and would contain the full number of chromosomes for that animal.
It all depends on the type of organism on many chromosomes are present in each cell. By regular cell division each new cell will have the same number as the original cell. Some organisms have many more chromosomes than humans do and some have many less chromosomes.
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
Yes there is it in a plants cell :)
If their are 36 chromosomes, the sex cells would have 18 chromosomes each.
They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.
No, chromosomes are compact pieces of DNA that are found within a cell, and are therefore smaller than a cell.
More than two sets of chromosomes
No an organelle is a structure within a cell. It cannot be larger than the cell it is inside of.
Genes
if you mean a cell, than in the chromosomes, in the nucleus

No. The reproductive cells (eggs, sperm, ova and pollen) all contain half the number of chromosomes of an organisms body cell. This means that at fertilization the two reproductive cells (or gametes) combine to form a single cell with the appropriate number of chromosomes.If a gamete had more chromosomes than a normal cell then fertilization would lead to even more chromosomes and an offspring that would be seriously genetically compromised.
the chromosomes are in the merherder region of the cell
Chromosomes fail to separate during cell division (its in the lesson)
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
