Can organisms with fewer chromosomes reproduce more easily than organism with more number of chromosomes?
can organisms with fewer no of chromosome reproduce more easily than organim with more
Which organism has more than 200 chromosomes Dogs Goats Peas Crayfish?
dogs
Why do potatoes have more chromosomes than humans?
The number of chromosomes of a species has little to do with the complexity of the organism or the amount of DNA. The reason for this is, chromosomes are known to break and form two or more new chromosomes, or fuse into one. The chromosomes of the potato and the potato lineage may have undergone many such changes, and the human lineage may have undergone a different series, resulting in the potato having more chromosomes.
Can the number of chromosomes in a reproductive cell be greater than the number chromosomes in an organism's body cell?
No. The reproductive cells (eggs, sperm, ova and pollen) all contain half the number of chromosomes of an organisms body cell. This means that at fertilization the two reproductive cells (or gametes) combine to form a single cell with the appropriate number of chromosomes.If a gamete had more chromosomes than a normal cell then fertilization would lead to even more chromosomes and an offspring that would be seriously genetically compromised.
What describes the relationship between the number of genes and the number of chromosomes in human skin cells?
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
Which organism had more than 200 chromosomes?
The crayfish has more than 200 chromosomes.
What is a polyploidi?
An organism that contains more than two sets of chromosomes.

Is an organism with a chromosome number of 300 is more complex than an organism with a chromosome number of 2?
No, just because a the number of chromosomes are higher, does not make it complex. There are certain plants with over 1,000 chromosomes, while we only have 46 and we are deffinetly more complex than a plant.
What is a polypoid organism?
an organism with more sets of chromosomes than is natural. IE a fruit is supposed to be diploid (2n), however some flies might gain another set of chromosomes to make it triploid (3n).
What is an Autopolyploid?
An autopolyploid is an organism with more than two sets of chromosomes, derived from the same species.
Some relatively simple eukaryotes such as the adder's tongue fern may have many more chromosomes than a more-complex eukarytoe such as a mammal what might this suggest about the size and organizatr?
Relatively simple organisms with more chromosomes might have smaller chromosomes containing less DNA. Also, some of the DNA in an organism's chromosomes may not carry information that is actually used by the organism.
Are organisms with 3 or more sets of chromosomes known as haploid organisms?
No - haploid cells contain half the normal amount of chromosomes.Polyploid is the term used for a cell/organism with more than 2 sets of chromosomes.
Why do potatoes have more chromosomes than humans?
The number of chromosomes of a species has little to do with the complexity of the organism or the amount of DNA. The reason for this is, chromosomes are known to break and form two or more new chromosomes, or fuse into one. The chromosomes of the potato and the potato lineage may have undergone many such changes, and the human lineage may have undergone a different series, resulting in the potato having more chromosomes.
What is polyploidy?
Polyploidy is the condition in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes. It can be defined as a chromosomal alteration in which the organism posses more than two complete chromosome sets. Classified as an accident in cell division.
Does the number of chromosomes determine how complex an organism is?
No there isn't. Humans are much more complex than a fern, yet the Adder's Tongue Fern has 1262 chromosomes and a human has only 46. It also doesn't work the other way either (more complex organisms having less chromosomes) for fruit flies have 8 chromosomes and dogs have 78. Also, chimpanzees have the same number of chromosomes as potatoes and, surely, they are on different complexity levels.
