Genes usually come in pairs because an organism can inherit a given gene from both parents. Six genes is not a lot, that would be a small portion of a genome.

How many pairs of gene does a human have?

Humans typically have about 23,000 genes, organized into 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each pair consists of one chromosome inherited from each parent, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes. Thus, in terms of gene pairs, humans have approximately 23,000 pairs of genes, with each gene generally existing in two copies (one from each parent).


When a group of gene pairs act together?

When a group of gene pairs act together, they can have a synergistic effect where their combined action results in a greater impact than each gene individually. This coordinated action is essential for many biological processes, such as development, metabolism, and response to environmental stimuli. Dysregulation of gene pairs working together can lead to disease or abnormal phenotypes.
