Best Answer

For example, chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes, humans have 46. Are there any animal species (or plant or other species for that matter) which has some individuals with some number of chromosomes, and some individuals with another number of chromosomes. Not including genetic conditions such as Down's Syndrome. * in some insects the males and the females have a different number (usually the male has half but not always) they are called haploodiploid * in plants different parts of the plants life cycle will have different ploidia (2 sets, 3 sets) * but the closest to what you are looking for is fungi in which each organism and sometimes different cells in the same organism have random numbers of chromosoms
