yeast is eukaryotic organism that has 32 chromosomes. its dna has been sequenced and has been determined to have 6000 genes. approximately, how many genes could possibly be in one chromosome of each chromosome has the same size?

The correct answer would be 187-188 genes.

The chromosome is defined as a thread-like structure formed by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and associated proteins.

It carries the genetic information an organism in the form of genes.

Genes refer to the coding sequence of the chromosome which specifically codes for the amino acid sequence of a protein.

The genome of the yeast consists of 32 chromosomes which have 6000 protein-coding genes.

As these chromosomes are equal in size that is, each contains the equal length of the DNA.

Thus, hypothetically we can say that each chromosome consists of 187-188 chromosomes (6000/32 = 187.5)
