More complex eukaryotes do not necessarily have more chromosomes than simpler eukaryotes do. An example from the Holt Science book is that fruit flies have 8 chromosomes, potatoes have 48, and humans have 46. The human cells are more complex, but they don't have quite as many chromosomes as potatoes!

Do more-complex organisms always have more chromosomes than simpler organisms do.?

Chromosomes contain the genes or the DNA of all organisms. Being more complex, does not mean that you have more chromosomes, for example: a human being has 48 chromosomes while chickens and dogs both have 78.

Why is the chromosome number in organisms always even?

Chromosomes come in pairs, so the number is even.


What is a property of a decomposition reaction?

Decomposition reactions always have one complex reactant and two or more simpler products.


Why is it that men are actually men?

because they have an X and a Y chromosome while females have two X chromosomes. chromosomes hold genes which are comprised of dna. these genes are like the building instructions that tell the cells in your body what to do. the Y chromosome is much shorter than the X chromosome, so there are less genes in a man than a woman. some say it makes us lesser beings, others say it makes us simpler. But heres the thing, the most simple and therefore the most adaptable organisms are the organisms that always survive.


If two organisms have the same full set number of chromosomes are the always members of the same species?

Not necessarily. While many members of the same species may have the same number of chromosomes, it does not guarantee that two organisms with the same number of chromosomes are of the same species. Chromosome number is just one characteristic used to define species, but other factors like genetic makeup, morphology, and ability to reproduce with one another are also important in determining species classification.


Does a synthesis reaction always involve bond formation?

Yes, a synthesis reaction always involves the formation of chemical bonds between reactants to produce a new compound. This type of reaction results in the creation of a more complex product from simpler reactants.


Is Prokaryotic organisms always unicellular but eukaryotic organisms are always multicellular.?

Prokaryotic organisms are primarily unicellular, as they consist of single cells without a nucleus or complex organelles. However, some prokaryotes can form colonies or filaments. In contrast, eukaryotic organisms are mostly multicellular, such as animals and plants, but there are also unicellular eukaryotes, like yeast and many protists. Therefore, the statement is not entirely accurate for eukaryotes.


Does a mans sperm always have the same chromosomes?

Man is always the Y chromosome.


Is the chromosomes number related to complexity of the organism?

Different creatures have different numbers of chromosomes; chromosomes are always diploid, or found in matching pairs. The number of chromosomes is in no way related to the complexity of the organism. For instance, fruit flies have eight chromosomes, humans have forty-six, butterflies have 380, and ferns have a remarkable 1200 chromosomes.
