Answer 2

Answer: The human chromosome with the highest and least number of genes are chromosome 1 and chromosome Y respectively.

The human genome consists of approximately 30,000 genes. A gene is a segment of DNA with specific sequences which carries information for the particular protein. It forms a part of the chromosome.

Chromosome 1 is an autosome. It is the largest chromosome found in human. It has the maximum number of genes, out of which 2000-2100 provide information for synthesizing proteins.                                                  

Chromosome Y is one of the sex chromosomes present in humans. It is only present in males. It has the least number of genes, out of which 50-60 genes provide information for synthesizing proteins.
