The number of genes varies. Most of any chromosome consists of non-coding DNA, which does not contain any genes.
Each chromosome has many chromatins. One gene consists of many chromatins. Therefore, one chromosome could have many genes.
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are carried from parent to their offspring on chromosomes.
A chromosome is made up of many genes.
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
Chromosomes that look alike and carry genes for the same trait are called homologous chromosomes. The nucleus contains these chromosomes.

Most homologous pairs look alike. They carry genes for the same characteristics and line up on the chromosome in the same order!

true
Typically, a chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes.
Females carry two copies of the X chromosome, while males carry one X and one Y chromosome. This means that females can have two different alleles for genes located on the X chromosome, while males can only have one allele for those genes.
They carry genes that determine whether a person is a male of female. They also carry genes that determine other traits.
