23 from mom
23 from dad = 46

This answer is incorrect. The answer above answers the question:
How many chromosomes are in the human genome?
Chromosomes are made up of genes and in the human body there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, the human genome is theorized to have 20,000-25,000 genes
So assuming (unrealistically) that every chromosome carried the same amount of genetic material (which they don't), then the answer would be 22,500/23 (for approximations sake).
What else can I help you with?
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.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures that contain genes, which are the functional units of heredity. Genes are specific segments of DNA that encode information for producing proteins, while chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein and contain many genes. Chromosomes are organized in pairs in a cell's nucleus, while genes are the specific units on chromosomes responsible for inherited traits.
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Chromosomes contain genes, which are the units of inheritance that carry genetic information. Genes are located on specific locations on chromosomes, known as gene loci. Each chromosome carries hundreds to thousands of genes that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA, while genes are specific segments of DNA that provide instructions for a particular trait. Chromosomes house many genes, along with other DNA sequences, and are inherited in pairs, one from each parent. Genes determine specific traits, such as eye color or blood type.
How many genes are there in an average human?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs are homologous (basically same shape) and the last pair is known as the X and Y sex-determining chromosomes. You were correct that 23 come from mom and the other 23 from dad. With regard to the question about genes, scientists finished sequencing the human genome in 2003. They found that the genome contained only 20,000-25,000 genes. You can read more about it if you search for human genome project on the net.
Do chromosomes have the same or different genes?
There are many more genes than chromosomes. The Human Genome Project currently has identified about 20,000 protein-coding genes, while there are only 46 chromosomes in the human genome.
Do humans have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
How many genes are on the human chromosomes?
if i remember right its two sets of 23 chromosomes,
Do human cells have 46 genes?
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
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.
How many chromosomes are in 1 pair of chromosomes?
There are 46 chromosomes (condensed threads of genetic material formed from chromatin as a cell prepares to divide), and 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.
Human traits controlled by a number of genes?
there are 42 chromosomes in the human body
Is a chromosome larger than a gene?
There are 25,000 human genes on 23 chromosomes. There are hundreds of genes on the smaller chromosomes and thousands on the bigger ones.
What cell carries about 25000 genes in 46 chromosomes?
Human
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
How many chromosomes does one mitochondrion have and what shape are these chromosomes?
Human Mitochondrial DNA has a mere 16,569 base pairs or approximately 37 genes. It has a circular structure not a chromosome.
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.
