Question

what is the number of chromosomes in human beings? what are genes and where are they located?​

Answer 1

In humans, each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. Twenty-two of these pairs, called autosomes, look the same in both males and females. The 23rd pair, the

chromosomes, differ between males and females. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, while males have one X and one Y chromosome.

Genes are a section of DNA that are in charge of different functions like making proteins. Long strands of DNA with lots of genes make up chromosomes. DNA molecules are found in chromosomes. Chromosomes are located inside of the nucleus of cells.
