Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromosomes are the thread-like structures that contain the genetic information or the coded instructions of heredity. Each human cell contains 46 chromosomes, which are arranged in pairs (23 pairs). These chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules, which contain the genes that determine various traits and characteristics. Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and egg cells) that contain only 23 chromosomes, half the number found in other cells of the body.
