Best Answer

The Chromosome that carries the fewest number of Genes would be the Haploid Cells. Also known as Gametes. It is your sex cells. Unlike Diploid cells who have double the amount Haploid only have half. So a simple answer to your question would be Haploid. and Why..Because they have half.

Chromosome 1 contains 263 million base pairs and has the most number of genes (4316). Chromosome 21 likely contains 200 to 300 genes that provide instructions for making proteins and it would be the smallest.

The human cell has 46 chromosomes. In the sex cell of a human it has one half that many. So 23 chromosomes from each parent. Different species have different number of chromosomes. This is why you do not have mixes such as a centaur.


Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?

In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes

Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.


What do Reproductive cells contain half the number of?

Reproductive cells, also known as gametes, contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This is because during sexual reproduction, gametes from two parents combine to form a new individual with a complete set of chromosomes. In humans, for example, gametes contain 23 chromosomes each, while most other cells in the body have 46 chromosomes.
