Humans without a disorder will have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, there are many disorders caused by different numbers of chromosomes. For example, Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) is a disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21.
The total grouping of a Person's 23 pairs of Chromosomes is called the Organism's "Genetic Complement".
Genome
Defined as It's Genotype.
genotype
Absolutely everything that the genes in your mitochondria or chloroplasts (if you're a plant) don't control. In eukaryotes like us ALL your genes are on chromosomes, with the exceptions I mentioned.
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
the chromosomes carry the genes
Since the genes are on the chromosomes, segregation of the chromosomes is also segregation of the genes.
The Sex chromosomes
Absolutely everything that the genes in your mitochondria or chloroplasts (if you're a plant) don't control. In eukaryotes like us ALL your genes are on chromosomes, with the exceptions I mentioned.
Genes are located on chromosomes and not chromosomes are located on genes. genes are the basic unit of inheritance and they resides on chromosomes.
chromosomes
No, the genes are in the chromosomes
DNA is in genes, and genes are in chromosomes.
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
They come from the same 'place' that all other Living Creatures Genes come from - Three Billion Years of Biological Evolution.
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.

Since the genes are on the chromosomes, segregation of the chromosomes is also segregation of the genes.
