Contrary to comic book mythology, if you mess with the number of chromosomes, the result is either a nonviable zygote, severe genetic abnormalities, or later in life, cancer. Humans can survive with extra or missing sex chromosomes, but usually an odd number of autosomes results in spontaneous abortion of the embryo. In short, you will not be able to read minds with a few extra chromosomes.

How many chromosomes in total would be in a sperm cell a grasshopper?

If it had 180 chromosomes in it's diploid stage (a normal body cell) you could expect to find 90 in its gametes.


Why must the sex cells have half the chromosome number of the normal body cells?

Otherwise, after fertilisation, the number of chromosomes would be doubled. Then, after each generation, the number of chromosomes would continue to be doubled! One might argue that after fertilisation, meiosis could take place, that is, the halving of the number of chromosomes could take place. It is true, but rare. Some organisms use this method.


Impossible to count individual chromosomes?

It is not impossible to could individual chromosomes. There is a test that can count them.


What might be the effect of inheriting more than the normal number of chromosomes in a human?

The implications of too many or too few chromosomes from the normal chromosomes are birth defects. With too many chromosomes a child could have Down Syndrome. With too few chromosomes a child could have Turner Syndrome.


What is the future look out for people with klinefelters syndrome?

Most of the Klinefelter Syndrome affected persons can lead a life which could be considered as normal. However, they might have certain problems related to sexual organs, (among others), and some, - but not all -, could be infertile. The reason for this is their extra chromosome. Females have XX chromosomes, Males have XY chromosomes, and Klinefelter syndrome affected males have XXY chromosomes. They often are prescribed testosterone therapy.
