Actually, most birds have a diploid number (2n) of ~80 pairs of chromosomes. Two thirds of all birds have between 2n=74 and 2n=82; they have highly conserved karyotypes throughout evolution.

The bird you are probably thinking of is a species of kingfisher, which has the highest chromosome number known (2n=134 or 138 - it gets hard to tell with that many). The haploid number of chromosomes is then 67 or 69.

Name the type of cell division described by 2n-2n?

diploid is 2n because each chromosome is paired up with another chromosome, 1n is haploid because the chromosomes aren't paired up at all. some plants are 3n (triploid) as the chromosomes in their nuclei are arranged in pairs of 3


What cell would a hiploid be?

A haploid cell is a sex-chromosome without pair. A diploid cell is a sex-chromosome with pairs . People have 22 chromosome pairs and 2 chromosomes they do not have pairs. A man has XY chromosomes and a woman XX chromosomes.

What does an autosome do in the human body?

An autosome is a non-sex chromosome. It is an ordinarily paired type of chromosome that is the same in both sexes of a species. For example, in humans, there are 22 pairs of autosomes. The X and Y chromosomes are not autosomal. Non-autosomal chromosomes are usually referred to as sex chromosomes, allosomes or heterosomes.
