No. Different species have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes, domestic cats have 38 chromosomes, and domestic dogs have 78 chromosomes.

What are shown on a karyotypes?
All of the chromosomes found in an organism.
What is a picture called of all the chromosome in a cell?
A picture of chromosomes is called a "karyotype."
What is the organelle the contains the chromosomes in eukaryotic cells?
Chromosomes are the molecules of DNA (inheritable genetic material) in each of your cells. Human cells are eukaryotic meaning that they have membrane bound organelles. The chromosomes in eukaryotic cells are enclosed within a nuclear membrane, collectively known as the nucleus. The nucleus is one of the organelles inside a eukaryotic cell.
What eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to for a substance?
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form Chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones. DNA and histone molecules form nucleosomes. These are all part of the structure of chromosomes.
What is the name of a cell with a nucleus?
almost all cells have a nucleus, eukaryotic cells
What controls most but not all of the Cells activities?
The nucleus is the eukaryotic Cell structure that contains the chromosomes. These contain the information that - after it is expressed - makes ALL of the items that diffuse throughout the Cytoplasm and control most but not all of the Cell's activities.
What cells contain RNA?
All Eukaryotic cells contain RNAIn Eukaryotic the cells contain a Nucleus.The nucleus house's the genetic material eg. DNA and RNA
How can you use karyotypes to identify a species?
Since a karyotype is a picture of the entire organism's chromosomes and since all species have a different number of chromosomes it makes it easy to figure out what species you are looking at just by looking at the karyotype.
Where is the DNA of most cells contained?
The Nucleus contains nearly all of the cell's DNA.
Do chromosomes contain the genetic information of the bacterial cell?
Yes, chromosomes (the DNA) contain the genetic blueprints for all cells.
Compared a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell on the basis of structural?
Prokaryotic is much smaller and unicellular. All bacterias are prokaryotic while eukaryotic cells are in plants and animals. Prokaryotic cells do not contain membrane bound organelles which means that they do not have most of the organelles that a normal eukaryotic cells have. Its nucleus also has no membrane which means that their DNA is not only exposed out in the open, it is also not coiled into chromosomes.
Are chromatin found in eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
In eukaryotic cells, the chromosomes are located in the nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, the chromosomes are in the cytoplasm.
