Chromosomes Quiz

Chromosomes Quiz is a small tribute to the countless cells in your body quietly dividing, copying, and passing on your traits every second. In fruit flies, which are often used in labs to study genetics, scientists first discovered how sex is determined by specific chromosome combinations. This work helped researchers understand human chromosomes too, especially how certain traits are passed on only through the X or Y chromosome. While the fruit fly may seem far removed from your life, it played a surprising role in helping us figure out how many chromosomes humans have and how they work. This MCQ set explores the basics of human chromosomes in a simple, quiz based format that makes trivia feel more like a game than a lesson.
