    Chromosome 11 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 11 spans about 134 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 4 and 4.5 percent of the total DNA in cells. Identifying genes on each chromosome is an active area of genetic research. Chromosome 11 likely contains between 1‚300 and 1‚700 genes. Genes on chromosome 11 are among the estimated 25‚000 total genes in the human genome. There are many

Asexual Reproduction-A form of reproduction which does not involve meiosis or fertilization without fusion of gametes. Sexual Reproduction- Has two processes: meiosis‚ involving halving the number of chromosomes and crossing
