Unfortunately, the article handwaves the one thing I’ve been struggling with the most: chromosomes.

What is the relationship between chromosomes and the human genome?

I somewhat get that a chromosome is somewhat of a partition of the genome, but how does the „two copies“ phenomenon of the human genome and the „two copies“ thing of chromosomes fit together? Are those one and the same concept?

Are there two copies of the XY chromosome, too?
