10 autosomal and 2 allosomic (sex) chromosomes. Males have XY sex chromosomes and females have XX sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are the largest chromosomes and constitute 30% of the total length of the diploid set in females and about 25% in males.

For the genetic algorithm, see Chromosome (genetic algorithm). Chromosome (10 7 - 10 10 bp) DNA Gene (10 3 - 10 6 bp) Function A chromosome and its packaged long strand of DNA unraveled. The DNA's ...
[14] [15] These genes contain an average of 10 introns and the average size of an intron is about 6 kb (6,000 bp). [16] This means that the average size of a protein-coding gene is about 62 kb and these genes take up about 40% of the genome. [17] Exon sequences consist of coding DNA and untranslated regions (UTRs) at either end of the mature mRNA.
Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is a chromosome anomaly where a male has an extra X chromosome. [10] These complications commonly include infertility and small, poorly functioning testicles (if present).
Schematic karyogram showing the human genome, with 23 chromosome pairs, and the human mitochondrial genome to scale at bottom left (annotated "MT").Its genome is relatively tiny compared to the rest, and its copy number per human cell varies from 0 (erythrocytes) [1] up to 1,500,000 ().
Humans have only twenty-three pairs of chromosomes, while all other extant members of Hominidae have twenty-four pairs. [6] It is believed that Neanderthals and Denisovans had twenty-three pairs. [6] Human chromosome 2 is a result of an end-to-end fusion of two ancestral chromosomes. [7] [8] [9] The evidence for this includes:
Chromosome 21 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans.Chromosome 21 is both the smallest human autosome and chromosome, [4] with 46.7 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) representing about 1.5 percent of the total DNA in cells.
Humans have one pair fewer chromosomes than the great apes. Human chromosome 2 appears to have resulted from the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes, and many of the genes of those two original chromosomes have been translocated to other chromosomes. Differences in number and position of satellites.
