No, chromosomes are smaller than cells. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells which codes for the synthesis of proteins.
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.
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.
A sperm cell will have 23 chromosomes, half the number found in a somatic cell. So, if there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in the parental cell, there would be 26 chromosomes in the parental cell, but the sperm cell would have 23 individual chromosomes.
If their are 36 chromosomes, the sex cells would have 18 chromosomes each.
There are 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes in each daughter cell after mitosis. Each daughter cells need 46 or 23 pairs of chromosomes to work properly and survive.
They have less chromosomes than a normal cell.
No, chromosomes are compact pieces of DNA that are found within a cell, and are therefore smaller than a cell.
No an organelle is a structure within a cell. It cannot be larger than the cell it is inside of.
Genes
if you mean a cell, than in the chromosomes, in the nucleus

False. Chromosomes are larger than genes. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain many genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific traits or functions. In essence, chromosomes are made up of DNA, which includes multiple genes along their length.

A human cell may have more or less than 46 chromosomes as a result of nondisjunction, which is a process that occurs during cell division where chromosomes fail to separate properly. This can lead to an incorrect number of chromosomes in the resulting daughter cells.
the chromosomes are in the merherder region of the cell
Chromosomes fail to separate during cell division (its in the lesson)
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.
