They carry the tens of thousands of traits that are inside you to make you look like who you are.
During sexual reproduction your Parents give you half of each of their Genome; which are copies of theirs.
Some of the traits may be dominant, which shows [are expressed] over the recessive traits.
Chromosomes have genes on them, which are passed down from a parental generation to their progeny.

∙ 13y agoThe chromosome is the genetic material that creates almost every part of the cell. Almost every cell in your body is diploid containing two sets of chromosomes. So instead of 23 you have 46 chromosomes, one from each parent. These chromosomes are made up of tightly wound DNA which according to the central dogma of Biology it goes DNA-RNA-Protein. This means that your DNA is the blueprint for the proteins, enzymes, and cellular structures that make each cell unique. This question is a very general one that can get extremely in depth, but I hope that this answer gives you the basic response that you need.

What did Sutton observe about the relative numbers of chromosomes in the body cells and sex cells of grasshoppers?
body cells of a grasshopper has 24 chromosomes and 12 chromosomes in the sex cells so as many body cell chromosomes you have you will have half that number of chromosomes in your sex cells.
Chromosomes are made of this material?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins. The chromosomes help to carry the genetic information throughout the body. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in the human body.

There is 46 chromosomes in the human body cell.
How many chromosomes exist in your body?
A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46. If you had an average of 40 trillion cells in your body that had 412 chromosomes you would have 4456 trillion chromosomes in your body. Note that some mature cells in your body do not have any chromosomes, some have 26 chromosomes and some cells have 99 chromosomes.
How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
