There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
No. The human cell has 23 chromosome pairs (total 46 chromosomes). Each chromosome has many genes.
The number of genes and number of chromosomes inherited depend on the species. The number of chromosomes a species has is known as the chromosome number. For example, (disregarding polyploidy or polysomy) a human baby has 46 chromosomes, but a horse has 64. Chromosomes usually occur as one of a pair in humans, and so they have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, it is common in plants to have many sets of chromosomes and so they do not occur in pairs, but in triplets, or as sets of 4, 5 or 6 etc. Some species of strawberries have 7 of each chromosome. The number of genes depends on how long the chromosome is, and each chromosome in each different species will have a different number of genes on the chromosome.
No, there are not 30,000 genes on each chromosome. The number of genes on each chromosome varies, ranging from approximately 200 to over 2,000 genes per chromosome. In total, humans have around 20,000-25,000 genes spread across all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Apes all have 24 pairs, except humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. It appears that there was a fusion of chromosome #2 in humans. The genomes are still good matches otherwise and the differing number of chromosomes do not effect the consensus that humans and other apes have a common ancestor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs1zeWWIm5M&fmt=18

Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), chromosomes are long strands of genes, and since the chromosomes come in pairs, so do the genes. There are 25,000 genes in the entire human genome, and since the haploid chromosome number is 23, there are about 100's of genes on the shorter chromosomes and approximately thousands on the longer chromsomes.
Its the other way around. We have 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. The number of genes per chromosome varies between 500 and 4,000, with a total of about 32,000 genes in the 46 chromosomes.
No. Humans have 46 chromosomes " beaded " with about 25,000 genes.

Humans have a total of 23 pairs of genes, for a total of 46 individual chromosomes.

Chromosomes contain thousands of genes. The exact number of genes on a chromosome can vary depending on the species. For example, humans have approximately 20,000-25,000 genes distributed among their 23 pairs of chromosomes.

The building blocks of your body are cells. In the cells are nuclei where DNA is located. The DNA is made of chromosomes which contain all the information or codes that make you who you are. These codes we call genes. The number of chromosomes varies with the species. We, as humans, have 23 pairs.
Chromosomes are structures made of DNA that carry genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic information needed for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms.
