The total length of the human genome is over 3 billion base pairs. The genome is organized into 22 paired chromosomes, plus the X chromosome (one in males, two in females) and, in males only, one Y chromosome. These are all large linear DNA molecules contained within the cell nucleus.
The human genome is composed of 3 billion base pairs of DNA, which is 1 m in length. Genomic DNA is distributed into 23 distinct chromosomes: 22 autosomes and one of two types of sex chromosomes (X or Y) in a haploid germ line cell.nalyses of the Human Genome Project revealed that the human genome contains about 22,000 genes. These genes occupy only 5% of the genome, and the remaining 95% is related to the function, behavior, and inheritance of the chromosomes. Further analyses are needed to better understand chromosomes as vehicles for genes.
