Do chromosomes contain one gene?

my Doctor told me that there is DNA with one strand and there is with three and if i prove that he will award me so please help me

When Do chromosomes separate in binary fission?

what happens is a male f+ bacteria has sex with a female recipient bacteria or the male f+ could also have sex with it's self, but the male f+ bacteria would have the same DNA and it will be born looking like the male f+ father.

Which chromosome Klinefleter's Syndrome affect?

Klinefelter Syndrome is neither recessive or dominant. It is a chormosome disorder, and is thus not passed down from generation to generation. The disorder is a random even that occurs.

How many chromosomes are located in normal human body cells?

The question is somewhat ambiguous as there are literally millions of different species, each with its own cellular chromosome count.

In addition, normal Somatic Cells have exactly twice the number of chromosomes that normal Haploid cells have.

Below is a list of different species and their corresponding Somatic cell chromosome count.

For the Haploid cell chromosome count simply divide the listed Somatic cell number by 2:


Somatic Cells - Chromosome Count

Human - 46
Common fruit fly - 8
Guinea Pig - 64
Dove - 78
Garden Snail - 54
Earthworm - 36
Tibetan Fox - 36
Domestic Cat - 38
Domestic Pig - 38
Laboratory Mouse - 40
Laboratory Rat - 42
Rabbit - 44
Syrian Hamster - 44
Hare - 48
Gorillas / Chimpanzee - 48
Domestic sheep - 54
Elephants - 56
Cow - 60
Donkey - 62
Horse - 64
Dog - 78
Kingfisher - 132
Goldfish - 100-104
Silkworm - 56

Both meiosis and fertilization are essential to maintain chromosome number constant .why?

Total number of chromosomes remain same in same species of organism through meiosis process. In meiosis process the number of chromosomes are reduced to half as a result in gametes only one set of chromosomes will be present. In this process chromosomes are same.....

What are genes that are carried from parents to offspring on chromosomes?

Genes are what define every living organism. All life has some sort of RNA sequence or DNA sequence that expresses genes. A gene is a sequence within a DNA strand that after transcription and translation make a protein. In DNA are four nitrogeenous bases ( A, T, C and G) and in RNA are four (A, U, C and G). A sequence of hundreds or even thousands bases can equate to a gene.

If an organism's diploid number (2n) is 14 how many chromosomes are found in a gamete?

Technically there will be no sister chromatids remaining at the beginning of telophase, as they will have been pulled apart during anaphase into two separate daughter chromosomes. From prophase to anaphase, however, the cell undergoing mitosis would have had 14 sister chromatids. After anaphase there would be a total of 28 daughter chromosomes in the cell, and they would be organized into two groups of 14 that corresponded to the 14 chromosomes the cell started with (barring any mistakes in the process).

What is a loss of complete chromosome called?

A loss of a complete chromosome is called monosomy. This occurs when a cell only has one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual two copies.

Why must sex cells have half the number of chromosomes as boby cells?

In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes a sex cell with half as many chromosomes as the normal cells. The two sex cells combine and the zygote will have the proper total of chromosomes. In this way, the offspring inherit genetic information from both parents.

How many chromosomes are in a kidney cell of a kangaroo?

Basically its half the number of chromosomes the kangaroo has over all, which is 12. this is because half comes from the egg and the other half from the sperm. so the answer is 6.

How many chromosomes are in a human cell before and after meiosis?

When meiosis begins at Gap 1 phase (G1) the cell of a human has 46 chromosomes or 2n.

Why does the Y chromosome be unlikely to contain any of the genes that are absolutely necessary for survival?

Yes, the y chromosome is critical for survival, for males at least. It contains the DNA (or genes) for the genetic make up of a male's body. No, I don't think so because Y chromosomes just dermine the sex. If it was critical to life then no girl would be alive because they don't have Y chromose.

Y chromosome truly determines sex. It contains SRY gene that produces TDF which makes sth to male. it not important for survival, just for prodactivity, since Y has came from X chromosome.

How many chromosomes in snakes?

I think it's 74, but don't quote me on it because i'm not sure.

How many chromosomes would each of the gametes have the would cause Downs syndrome in a zygote?

In a condition such as Trisomy 21 (predominant form of Down syndrome) embryo starts developing with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two. It is due to the failure in the separation of two (2n) chromosome 21 in either egg or sperm cell prior to or during fertilization.

So precisely, the answer is, either one of sperm or egg gamete would have 24 chromosome (n) instead of 23

How many genes does the chromosome carry?

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.
