No, chromosomes are smaller than cells. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells which codes for the synthesis of proteins.

∙ 14y agoNo, chromosomes are not larger than a cell. They are much smaller than a cell, and are actually smaller than the nucleus.

How many chromosomes does a cheek cell have?
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.
How many long chromosomes are present in each new cell?
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.
What cell has homologous chromosomes?
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
Are chromosomes a part of the plant cell?
Yes there is it in a plants cell :)
If a cell has 36 chromosomes how many sex cell chromosomes are their?
If their are 36 chromosomes, the sex cells would have 18 chromosomes each.
How do the chromosomes of a sperm cell differ from chromosomes in other cells of the body?
They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.
Are cells smaller then chromosomes?
No, chromosomes are compact pieces of DNA that are found within a cell, and are therefore smaller than a cell.
How many sets of chromosomes do polyploids have in their cell?
More than two sets of chromosomes
Is a cell larger than a organelle?
No an organelle is a structure within a cell. It cannot be larger than the cell it is inside of.
What do the chromosomes of eukaryotic cell have more of than those of a prokaryotic cell?
Genes
Where is the DNA located in e cell?
if you mean a cell, than in the chromosomes, in the nucleus

Where is the location of the chromosomes in the cell?
the chromosomes are in the merherder region of the cell
Can the number of chromosomes in a reproductive cell be greater than the number chromosomes in an organism's body cell?
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.
What cell has homologous chromosomes?
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
What is the process call when a human cell may have more or less than 46 chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction?
Chromosomes fail to separate during cell division (its in the lesson)
