Different kinds of organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 46 in all: 44 autosomes and two sex chromosomes. Each parent contributes one chromosome to each pair, so children get half of their chromosomes from their mothers and half from their fathers.chromosome end The order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule, or the order of amino acids in a protein molecule.sequences with the recently published human All the DNA contained in an organism or a cell, which includes both the chromosomes within the nucleus and the DNA in mitochondria.genome The order of nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule, or the order of amino acids in a protein molecule.sequence.¹ They detected two clusters on human One of the threadlike "packages" of genes and other DNA in the nucleus of a cell.
