All of an organisms genetic information can be obtained within the chromosomes in a single cell almost every kind of cell in an organism has the same number of chromosomes for example most human cells have each 46 chromosomes which is a type of cell that contains 23 chromosomes in a human?

Answer:

Genetic information are derived from the chromosome of a single cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each organism has a particular number of chromosome in their cell. Almost every kind of organism has the similar number of chromosomes, as in human. Human cells have 46 chromosomes which have 23 pairs, known as homologous pairs.

Human sperms have haploids i.e. one homologous chromosome for each pair. When the process of sperm fusion takes place the genetic components of the sperm unite themselves into a single set of diploid chromosomes.

The two chromosomes of mother and father in a pair are quite similar and carry same genetic information. However the gene types are different.
