    Question: The number of DNA molecules in each chromosome is

    Options:

    one
    upto 10
    more than hundred
    infinite

    A single chromosome contains only one DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule and so many genes.
    Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
    22 pairs of autosomes chromosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, X and Y.

    🛑Important Points:
    In the cell nucleus, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes.
    A chromosome (microscopic structure) is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
    A chromosome has two arm – p arm (short arm) and q arm (long arm), joined in the location of the centromere.

    🔑Key Points:
    The information in DNA (double helix structure) is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
    DNA has two base pairs, A-T and G-C, attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone.
