Human DNA is organized into 46 chromosomes, which are arranged in 23 pairs. Each parent contributes one chromosome to each pair, resulting in 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males). These chromosomes contain the genetic information that determines an individual's traits and biological functions.
