Sorry - there's just no easy answer there. Some chromosomes are enormous and carry many genes, others are puny and contain very few genes. And chromosomes also differ in what proportion of their DNA is actually coding DNA. To give you a sense of the range, according to ensembl.org (a great genome browser website) human chromosome 1 is 250Mb and contains about 2,000 genes (a density of about 8 genes per Mb) and chromosome Y is about 60Mb and contains only about 50 genes (or a density of 0.83 genes per Mb). And that's just within a single species.
What else can I help you with?
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 found in chromosomes?
about 25,000
How many genes do fruit flies have on their chromosomes?
74
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.
Is genes are larger than chromosomes true or false?
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.
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 a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
Why some chromosomes are recessive and the others are domainent?
Actually a chromosome consists of many genes/alleles and is neither recessive or dominant in and of itself.
How many chromosomes are present in a eukaryote cell?
