“chromosomes” is the majority of the word “chromosome” and thus describes two or more chromosomes.

“Chromosome set” refers to a set of chromosomes. In humans, a chromosome set would be 46 chromosomes. With chimpanzees 48… always dress up like that!

All chromosomes of a healthy cell, yes!

A chromosome pair are always two identically shaped chromosomes. ZB Both chromosomes number 4 of man.

No, only those of people. Maybe some other species… Chimpanzees have 48, trees have partly over 70…

Of course. And bacteria cells have no real chromosome, but only one ring DNA. There are always perceptions! They then have only half a chromosome set which consists of 23 half chromosomes.

But not all human cells! Gender cells are haploid!

No, because you can’t compare an object with a factor.

A chromosome is condensed DNA, depending on the type, present in various numbers. Distributable to gonosomes and autosomes.

The chromosome set has to do with the number. For example, a diploid cell with a chromosome set of 2 n is described. A human cell has a chromosome set of 2n=46 (normally). A haploid cell in humans (bad cells) have a chromosome set of n=23. Because what does 2n mean? There are always two chromosomes that contain the genetic information of the same genes, only the exact information may differ, since it is the genetic information of mother and father.

So you cannot compare or equal the two terms.

The whole chromosome set is haploid or diploid, not individual chromosomes. As I wrote in 2000, diploid means that the chromosomes can be classified into pairs of two chromosomes with the same genes. In the case of a haploid chromosome set, there is only one copy of each chromosome, so one cannot form pairs.

A person usually has cells with a haploid chromosome set (the sex or germ cells, i.e. egg and seed cells) as well as cells with a diploid chromosome set (the body cells).

It is as similar to a wrench and a set of wrenches – A complete set of wrenches give a set of wrenches – just as a complete set of chromosomes result in a chromosome set.
