Do genes form chromosomes?
no
What are chromosomes and genes composed of?
Genes are composed of DNA. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. Genes are the sections of DNA which code for a functional product (such as a protein). Chromosomes are the compact, tightly-coiled form of DNA. These appear before the cell undergoes division/replication.
Where are genes found in the human body?
in cells that have nucleous, they are stored in the nucleous but for the cells that dont have nucleous. they just fload around in the cell
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 are in a typical body?
Human beings normally have 46 chromosomes (in the form of 23 pairs).
Do genes form chromosomes?
no
Where are chromosomes found in a cell state their function?
Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell and the function of chromosomes is to hold the genes (made form DNA) and to replicate the genes when a cell divides.

Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.

When do strands of DNA form chromosomes?
When dividing to create genes for offspring. :p

What percent of the DNA in your chromosomes functions as genes?
Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes in one very long strand of DNA. The DNA is coiled around proteins called histones. The DNA seems to form a bigger (of course on a very tiny level) part of the chromosome than the histones. Since DNA is comprised of genes, that means that over half of the chromosome is genes. The exact amount would depend on the chromosome.

What are pairs of the same chromosomes called?
A pair of chromosomes is called a "chromosome pair."Generally, the two chromosomes in a pair are "homologous chromosomes."An individual form of a gene is called an "allele." (For example: if someone has genotype "Aa", they have two different alleles, "A" and "a")
What is the genetic structures located within the nucleus called?
In the nucleus of each cell in the human body (excluding gametes [23]) there are 46 chromosomes, these chromosomes consist of lots of different genes that all join up together (A to T, G to C) and each gene has a code for a certain part of your body.
Are Chromosomes are contained with in blood cells?
No. Chromosomes are the simple form of DNA coiled into a rod shape containg genes and the plans for charastics. Blood cells are an entirly different cell
