No, it's the other way round a chromosome conatins many genes. On humans one can contain anywhere between hundreds or thousands of genes, some are longer than others .

What structures make up chromosomes?
Gene is the functional unit of chromosome.
Do chromosomes contain one gene?
my Doctor told me that there is DNA with one strand and there is with three and if i prove that he will award me so please help me
What does The chromosomes in your body each contain?
Your chromosomes contain your genetic material.
How many gene is present in one chromosomes?
A given gene is present on exactly two chromosomes in a somatic cell.
Chromosomes come in pairs known as what?
Homologous chromosomes
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.
How many chromosomes do they contain?
Bacteria contain one circular chromosome (and several tiny circular plasmids), some slime molds contain hundreds of thousands of linear chromosomes. Other organisms contain various numbers of chromosomes depending on the species.
What is a homologies?
This are chromosomes that have exactly the same length that contain the same gene but those genes have different alleles.
What structures make up chromosomes?
Gene is the functional unit of chromosome.
Genes are found on which part of a cell?
Genes can be found in chromosomes. The cell nucleus of almost every cell contains chromosomes and genes. They contain the DNA and the gene shows as a section of the DNA.
Gametes contain one half one quarter or is equal to the number of alles found in other cells in the body of an organism?
Gametes contain half of the number of chromosomes as somatic cells (the other cells of your body). These chromosomes have the same number of alleles on them as somatic cells, but gametes contain one allele of each gene while somatic cells contain two alleles of each gene. So, they contain half the amount of alleles that the rest of your cells do.
Does DNA contain 23 chromosomes?
No. DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA.
What is the relationships between chromosomes genes and alleles?
alleles are the various types of options that is chosen by the gene. The gene is the segment of DNA that codes for the protein. Genes are found on chromosomes. Chromosomes contain multiple genes.
