RNA molecules
Typically, a chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.
Can each chromosome usually contain multiple genes? yes each chromosome usually contains more than one gene.
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.
The structure inside the nucleus that contains genes is called the chromosome. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of DNA and protein that carry genetic information in the form of genes. Each chromosome contains many genes that determine an organism's traits and characteristics.

X and Y
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
Chromosome
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
Both X and Y chromosomes i.e. Allosome 23rd pair contains sex linked genes.
No. The Y chromosome is much smaller than the X chromosome. There are only about 70 active genes on the Y chromosome and many more deleteriously mutated one. The X chromosome contains many more active genes and only crosses over marginally with the Y chromosome.

Euchromatin is a lightly packed form of chromatin which is the molecular substance of a chromosome. It is often but not always actively transcribing which means the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of RNA.
