How many chromosomes does a child inherit from his or her parents

The genome of a person including the child is comprised of 23 pairs of the chromosome. Out of these 23 pairs, the child inherit one pair from his/her father and one pair from his/her mother. the 22 pairs of the chromosomes are autosomes, and one is allosome or the sex chromosome.

The mother always donates an X chromosome and autosomes and father donate either X or Y sex chromosome with 22 autosomes, which determines the sex of a child.

Hence, the child inherit 23 chromosomes from each parent, which makes 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes in the child.

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.
