what does each individual chromosome do?


Answers:
I have never said this since I have been answering questions here, but please ignore the person above. Not only is this person wrong, they are incredibly wrong. There is NO such thing as right and left chromosomes. And chromosomes do NOT affect certain sides of your body.
Each chromosome is made up many many genes that carry the information to be able to make proteins. When you consider that there are two copies of each chromosome, and that each copy of each gene on the chromosome might be slightly different from the other, you have the possibility of two slightly different proteins being produced from them.
Bottom line.each chromosome carries genetic information that can be used to make proteins.
one way to answer question is chromosome is what are body parts are
chromosome is like a double fuse box a right and left side
just like your body has a right and left
you have a right and left chromosome right eye left eye every part of your body has 2 sides with are made up of chromosome
wally is right. each chromosome codes for specific traits that are genetically transferred to offspring. if a mutation occurs in a chromosome, then defects occur.
Y-chromosome carries male characteristics while the X-chromosome carries female characteristics.
