What describes the relationship between the number of genes and the number of chromosomes in human skin cells?
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
What is the similarities and difference between the segregation of genes and of chromosomes?
Since the genes are on the chromosomes, segregation of the chromosomes is also segregation of the genes.
Do humans have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
In plants and animals an offspring inherits How Many genes?
The number of genes and number of chromosomes inherited depend on the species. The number of chromosomes a species has is known as the chromosome number. For example, (disregarding polyploidy or polysomy) a human baby has 46 chromosomes, but a horse has 64. Chromosomes usually occur as one of a pair in humans, and so they have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, it is common in plants to have many sets of chromosomes and so they do not occur in pairs, but in triplets, or as sets of 4, 5 or 6 etc. Some species of strawberries have 7 of each chromosome. The number of genes depends on how long the chromosome is, and each chromosome in each different species will have a different number of genes on the chromosome.

What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
DNA is in genes, and genes are in chromosomes.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
How many genes are found on each of your chromosomes?
Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), chromosomes are long strands of genes, and since the chromosomes come in pairs, so do the genes. There are 25,000 genes in the entire human genome, and since the haploid chromosome number is 23, there are about 100's of genes on the shorter chromosomes and approximately thousands on the longer chromsomes.
What is the similarities and difference between the segregation of genes and of chromosomes?
Since the genes are on the chromosomes, segregation of the chromosomes is also segregation of the genes.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.
Do humans have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
How many genes do you have on one set of chromosomes in one of your cells?
Its the other way around. We have 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. The number of genes per chromosome varies between 500 and 4,000, with a total of about 32,000 genes in the 46 chromosomes.
Are there more chromosome than genes?
No. Humans have 46 chromosomes " beaded " with about 25,000 genes.
How are chromosomes genes and DNA alike and why are they in the cell?
The building blocks of your body are cells. In the cells are nuclei where DNA is located. The DNA is made of chromosomes which contain all the information or codes that make you who you are. These codes we call genes. The number of chromosomes varies with the species. We, as humans, have 23 pairs.

How are genes aligned on homologous chromosomes?
The genes are aligned between the pole, since it's involving homologous chromosomes, where all characteristics of chromosomes are the same, it kind of makes sense that identical genes would be aligned between the poles.
