Why are there so many DNA strands in a chromosome? Why is there not one DNA strand? There are millions of DNA strands in a chromosome, but why?

redundancy? or instability at long lengths
is here any consistency in chromosome length?

I'm going to hyjack this thread
OK anons given there are 8bn odd people on the planet, almost three times the length of our genome so pretty much every base is subject to multiple mutations
what are some cool mutations that humans could be developing?

But that's wrong. It's 2 strands per chromosome, effectively just 1 and its complement.

There's only two. DNA is double stranded

There is one double stranded piece of DNA in a chromosome, unless the cell is diploid. Then there are two double stranded pieces of DNA in each
