There are 46 chromosomes present in all the healthy human beings, which are present in every cell of the body. Chromosomes include one pair of sex chromosomes and 22 matching pairs, which carry genetic material (or DNA). Each chromosome makes unique individual.
You receive genes from each of your biological parents; 0.5 from your mother and 0.5 from your father. The genes verify that options you inherit, like hair, blood type, eye color and different features - like your mother's nose or your father's mouth.
Diseases can be developed through inheritance or can be carried via genes such as Tay-Sachs and hemophilia that are passed from parents to children. This might happen due to the flaws in chromosomes.
