What does chromosomes mean-?
A chromosome is a DNA strand, that is comprised of genes. The two sex chromosomes are XX in females and XY in males.
What is true about genes chromosomes and proteins?
all genetic material.. each part makes up the other.. example.. proteins have genes which has chromosomes which consists of DNA
Is DNA comprised of proteins?
No, DNA is a nucleic acid which is made up of deoxyribose sugar, phosophate and nitrogenous bases. However, chromosomes contain both DNA and proteins.
What do the bands on chromosomes signify?
The bands on chromosomes are regions of condensed DNA that are stained differently to create a visible pattern. These bands help scientists identify and locate specific genes on the chromosomes. The patterns of bands can also reveal genetic abnormalities or structural rearrangements in the chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does a cell have?
This can vary anywhere from 1 (e.g. bacteria cell) to several hundreds of thousands (e.g. multinucleated slime mold cell), depending on species.In humans, the number of chromosomes in somatic cells (ordinary body cells) is 46 (23 pairs). The number of chromosomes in sex cells is 23, as they are haploid.

What is the significance of the number 46 concerning DNA?
Chromosomes are comprised of DNA. Chromosomes are located inside the nucleus of every cell. There are exactly 46 chromosomes in every one of your body's cells.
What are chromosomes and where can they be seen?
Chromosomes are thread-like structures found in the nuclei of cells comprised of DNA and various proteins. They are only visible during cell division (mitosis)
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.
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 normal number of human chromosomes?
I'm guessing you mean germ cells (oocyte and sperm). Each one has 23 chromosomes (haploid), so when they fuse they make a full cell (46 chromosomes-diplod).
What is true about genes chromosomes and proteins?
all genetic material.. each part makes up the other.. example.. proteins have genes which has chromosomes which consists of DNA
How many chromosomes do they contain?
Bacteria contain one circular chromosome (and several tiny circular plasmids), some slime molds contain hundreds of thousands of linear chromosomes. Other organisms contain various numbers of chromosomes depending on the species.
Is there a relationship between the size of an organism and the number of chromosomes?
Not necessarily. Organism size and chromosome count are not directly correlated. For example, while humans have 46 chromosomes, some plants can have hundreds of chromosomes and still be relatively small in size. The number of chromosomes can vary among different species and does not dictate the size of the organism.
Is DNA comprised of proteins?
No, DNA is a nucleic acid which is made up of deoxyribose sugar, phosophate and nitrogenous bases. However, chromosomes contain both DNA and proteins.
What is a European country comprised of hundreds of islands?
Denmark and Greece most likely have the most islands, but the United Kingdom is full of islands as well, specifically in Scotland.
What steps did Greeks take to gain their independence?
The Greek world comprised hundreds of independent city-states. It developed that way when tribes transitioned from nomadic to agricultura.
