Answer 2

☆Your answer☆

A chromosome is a strand of DNA that is encoded with genes. In most cells, humans have 22 pairs of these chromosomes plus the two sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males) for a total of 46. The word chromosome was originally coined in German from the Greek words khroma, meaning color, and soma meaning body.
