what do you mean by types???? Chromosomes are the organized form of DNA found in cells. Chromosomes contain one very long, continuous piece of DNA, which contains many genes, regulatory elements and other intervening nucleotide sequences. A broader definition of "chromosome" also includes the DNA-bound proteins which serve to package and manage the DNA. The word chromosome comes from the Greek χρῶμα (chroma, color) and σῶμα (soma, body) due to their property of being stained very strongly with vital and supravital dyes. Chromosomes vary extensively between different organisms. The DNA molecule may be circular or linear, and can contain anything from tens of kilobase pairs to hundreds of megabase pairs. Typically eukaryotic cells (cells with nuclei) have large linear chromosomes and prokaryotic cells (cells without nuclei) smaller circular chromosomes, although there are many exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, cells may contain more than one type of chromosome; for example mitochondria in most eukaryotes and chloroplasts in plants have their own small chromosome in addition to the nuclear chromosomes. In eukaryotes nuclear chromosomes are packaged by proteins into a condensed structure called chromatin. This allows the massively-long DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus. The structure of chromatin varies through the cell cycle, and is responsible for the organisation of chromosomes into the classic four-arm structure during mitosis and meiosis. "Chromosome" is a rather loosely defined term. In prokaryotes, a small circular DNA molecule may be called either a plasmid or a small chromosome. These small circular genomes are also found in mitochondria, and chloroplasts, reflecting their bacterial origins. The simplest chromosomes are found in viruses: these DNA or RNA molecules are short linear or circular chromosomes that often lack any structural proteins.
Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell, including 23 pairs. These chromosomes can be categorized into two types: autosomes (22 pairs) and sex chromosomes (1 pair). Autosomes contain genetic information for general characteristics, while sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex (XX for females and XY for males).
The two type of chromosomes found in human cells are autosomes and allosomes. Autosomes contain hereditary information whereas allosomes represent human sex chromosomes (X and Y pairs).
Autosomes and sex chromosomes. There are 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes in each body cell.
Haploids and Polyploids are the two types of chromosomes found in the cells of an organism.

How many different types of chromosome do humans have?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
How many chromosome's in a plant cell?
A plant cell typically contains multiple sets of chromosomes, which can vary depending on the species. Most common plant species are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. However, there are also species that are polyploid with more than two sets of chromosomes.
What are two types of chromosomes in the body how are they different?
the two types of chromatins are euchromatin and heterochromatin.They are different in that heterochromatin is coiled while euchromatin is not coiled.It is this coiling that makes heterochromatin inactive and therefore less in the nucleus when the nucleus is actively involved in protein synthesis.On the other hand,euchromatin is active because its DNA is exposed. When viewed under a microscope,the two chromatins have different stains.
How many chromosomes will a human liver cell have when compared with a human nerve cell?
Both human liver cells and human nerve cells will have the same number of chromosomes, which is 46. This is because all body cells in humans (somatic cells) have the same number of chromosomes, which are inherited from the parents and not altered during differentiation into different cell types.
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
How many different types of chromosome do humans have?
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. This includes 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes.
What types of cells are seen in chromosomes?
Cells are not found in chromosomes. Chromosomes are found in cells.
A parental cell has two pairs of homologues How many different combinations of chromosomes can occur among the gametes?
4 types
What has chromosomes?
Any living thing has chromosomes; different species have different amounts!

Humans have what kind of chromosomes?
4 basic types of chromosomes , metacentric , submetacentric , acrocentric and telocentric .
How many number of chromosomes do hibiscus plant have?
There is no one number for Hibiscus. The amount ranges from 22 to 168. This is due to the large number of different types of Hibiscus types so this question is vague. I did find something for those interested in this question, try this website which has the counts for many types of Hibiscus and many other plants. http://www.malvaceae.info/Biology/Chromosomes.html
How many chromosomes are there in each somatic cell?
That depends on the organism you're looking at. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes per normal somatic cell. 46 chromosomes = 22 homolog pairs + 2 sex chromosomes (XX in women or XY in men)
How is the chromosomes in the eukaryotes different from the structer of chromosomes in prokaryotes?
in eukaryotic chromosomes it produces DNA to live and in prokaryotic chromosomes it is nothing but bacteria.
Do Different Eukaryote organisms have different amount of Chromosomes?
Yes, different eukaryotic organisms can have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes, while corn plants have 20 chromosomes. The number of chromosomes can vary widely among eukaryotic species.
How many chromosones in a mouse?
All animal types have a different number of chromosomes not just mammal, birds, and fish.
