Why are there 23 pairs of chromosomes and not 3 individuals chromosomes?

All of the information contained in the 23 pairs can't be contained in just 3 chromosomes. Most information would be left out, and then the organism would become a different animal or be seriously mutated, or not even be alive.

How many set of chromosomes dose human have?
It is because with only 2-3 pairs of chromosomes we would have much less variability (Variability is critical for the existence of a population;less variability, less resistant population). Why more variability? Because we have 23 pairs of chromosomes but they are not two exactly same sets of chromosomes.
How many chromosome do human have?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes; 46 chromosomes in all, 23 from the father and 23 from the mother.A normal human being has 23 chromosomes from each parent, giving them 23 pairs or 46 in total. It is called Haploid.
If a parent cell has six chromosomes how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell?
Mitosis is the normal process of Cell division, so each daughter cell is (hopefully) a clone of the original. With a few exceptions such as sex and red blood cells, all human cells in a normal human being have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes. Therefore, the answer to this question is 46 chromosomes.
How many bases are there in a gene?
this isn't a very well put question if you meant how many base pairs there are in DNA there are 4- adenine thymine cytosine and guanine (A links to T and C links to G) but you could argue that they are in the chromosomes (which they are and therefore the question is absolutely fine) . or if you wanted to say how many pairs of chromosomes are there there are 23 pairs and 46 altogether. There are about 3.2 billion base pairs and 23 chromosomes in the human genome. If you do the math (3.2 x 10^9)/23 = 1.4 x 10^8 or about 140 million base pairs on average in a human chromosome.
How chromosomes number remains the same in the members of same species give scientific reason?
of the formation of haploid sex cells during meiosis, which then unite to form a new diploid cell called a zygote, which will have the same number of chromosomes as the members of that species.

How much DNA can be found in a human?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and just over 3 billion base pairs. Each cell in the human body has about 2m of DNA (if it were stretched out). This means that an average human's DNA would be 2 * 1011 km long!This length is 500,000 times the distance to the moon (4 * 105 km).

What is the term for two chromosomes that have the same length?
Homologous, but keep in mind that only specific pairs of chromosomes numbered on a karyotype (e.g. 1, 2, 3) can be homologous.
How many chromosomes are at each pole of the cell?
the answer is 3
People with down syndrome have how many chromosomes?
47There are 47 chromosomes in someone with Down syndrome; the 21st pair has an extra chromosome. Most people have 46 chromosomes. Down syndrome is also known as "Trisomy 21" - a reference to the fact that someone with Down syndrome has 3 pairs of chromosomes on their 21st pair.
