name the chromosomes with most and fewest gene
Answers
Answer:
Human Y chromosome. In humans, the Y chromosome spans about 58 million base pairs (the building blocks of DNA) and represents approximately 1% of the total DNA in a male cell. The human Y chromosome contains over 200 genes, at least 72 of which code for proteins

Answer:
a) Chromosome 1
b) Y chromosome
Explanation:
Chromosome with most gene is chromosome 1. On karyotyping it was found that, chromosome 1 is the largest chromosome in humans and has most of the genes (approx 3168).
Chromosome 1 is a non sex chromosome which is called autosome and is found in pair.
Diseases related to chromosome 1 are loss of hearing , Alzheimer etc.
Chromosome Y has the fewest gene. On karyotyping it was found that it is the smallest chromosome, with approximately 349 genes.
It is a sex chromosome and is found in males where it is paired with X chromosome .
Y chromosome has a SRY gene which is responsible for the development of male characters, and male sex organs.
