∙ 14y agonot sure the exact number but they have a large number of genes

∙ 11y agoPairing of homologous chromosomes takes place point to point or gene to gene in a linear manner. This Pairing takes place during prophase of meiosis I.
Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. These genes tend to be inherited together during cell division because they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome.
The number of genes varies. Most of any chromosome consists of non-coding DNA, which does not contain any genes. Each chromosome has many chromatins. One gene consists of many chromatins. Therefore, one chromosome could have many genes.
The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and contains fewer genes. It carries the genes necessary for determining male sex and some other genes, but it lacks many of the genes present on the X chromosome. This is why the Y chromosome does not carry any alleles in the same way that the X chromosome does.
An allele is one member of a pair or series of genes that occupies a specific position on a specific chromosome. Each allele can encode a specific trait or characteristic. When two alleles are present in an individual, they can interact to determine the physical and physiological traits of that individual.
No. A chromosome is composed of proteins and genes.
Most homologous pairs look alike. They carry genes for the same characteristics and line up on the chromosome in the same order!

The y chromosome, which only contains a few hundred genes.

The Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome and carries fewer genes because it has lost many genes over evolutionary time. The Y chromosome primarily carries genes involved in male sex determination and development.
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
