Answer:

Genes are Passed Down in Chromosomes Genes are found on long strands of DNA called chromosomes. Most humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. So they have two copies of chromosome 1, two copies of chromosome 2, etc. You get one copy of each of your chromosomes from your mother and one from your father.
