A gene is, specifically, a distinct sequence of nucleotides in the DNA that form a portion of the chromosome that determines what amino acid chains are made by cells. These are distributed all over in every chromosome, and there are a massive number of genes in the body, though most of them don't have any external representation like hair color and skin color do.

There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
No, there are not 30,000 genes on each chromosome. The number of genes on each chromosome varies, ranging from approximately 200 to over 2,000 genes per chromosome. In total, humans have around 20,000-25,000 genes spread across all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
The genes in daughter cells produced by mitosis are the same as the genes in the original cell. Mitosis is a process of cell division where the genetic material is replicated and evenly distributed between the daughter cells, ensuring that they have an identical genetic makeup to the original cell.

Chromosomes contain thousands of genes. The exact number of genes on a chromosome can vary depending on the species. For example, humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 genes distributed among their 23 pairs of chromosomes.
No, the genes are in the chromosomes
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).

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.
Genes are located on chromosomes. Genes are simply regions on chromosomes that code for polypeptides.
The genes carried on the X and Y chromosomes are called your "sex chromosomes".
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.
