Document Summary
Most cells of the body have a full set of 46 chromosomes tiny structures in the nucleus that contain genetic material. Gametes each have half that number 23 chromosomes. In vitro fertilization mixing sperm and egg together in a laboratory dish and then placing several fertilized eggs in the mother"s uterus. Only 1/3 attempts of in vitro fertilization succeed. A single treatment of ivf in the us is between -15000. Each chromosome consists of one molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) bases. Dna carries the genetic code, which consists of pairs of nucleotide. The order of the nucleotide pairs is the code that causes the cell to create specific amino acids, proteins, and enzymes. Gene - each group of nucleotide bases that provides a specific set of biochemical instructions. 46 chromosomes include roughly 25000 genes and dna. Each cell contains chromosomes that carry genes made up of dna. Chromosome 1 has the most genes (3000)
