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.

Evidence for the relatively close relationship of archaea to eukaryotes includes what?
Evidence for the relatively close relationship of archaea to eukaryotes includes the fact that their growth is not hindered by certain antibiotics that do hinder bacterial growth. Archaea is a kingdom that consists of single-celled microorganisms.
What types of chromosomes in humans determines the gender of the baby?
The sex chromosomes...XX for a female, XY for a male, with some other relatively rare variations.
What are the basic differences between prokaryic and eukaryotic?
Prokaryotes do not have a nuclear membrane or nucleoli, Eukaryotes do. Prokaryote have no organells, Eukaryote do. Prokaryotes usually have a single circular chromosome lacking histones. Eukaryotes have multiple linear chromosomes with histones. Prokaryotes replicate by binary fission, Eukaryotes by mitosis and meiosis.
How many chromosomes are present in the abnormal karyotype?
In a regular human body cell, there are 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. Of these, 2 are sex chromosomes, so named because they determine the sex of the individual. The other 44 (22 in each set) are called autosomes. Any exceptions to the above are instances of aneuploidy. They are relatively rare.
Is usher syndrome a gene or chromosomal?
Usher syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation. The gene is not carried on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y).
Is the change in the size of the chromosomes the cause of sickle cell disease?
the sickle cell disease can be caused by many things including the change in size of chromosomes. the change of size in chromosomes can change and become either bigger or smaller. if the size doesnt change, then it doesnt get bigger or smaller which means the size stays relatively the same in general. it also makes you get a priapism
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.
Is there a difference between the chromosomes of men and women?
Human females are XX; males are XY.In humans, females have 22 pairs of chromosomes called autosomes, plus one pair of sex chromosomes, consisting of two copies of chromosome X. The X chromosome is between chromosomes 7 and 8 in size. Males have the same autosomes, but their sex chromosomes consist of one X and one relatively tiny Y, which is the shortest chromosome humans have except for chromosomes 21 and 22.Many other animals determine their sex the same way. But birds, moths, and butterflies are the other way round (males are WW; females WZ), and some animals use a different system altogether, such as whether the egg is fertilized or not: honey bees, for example.
Another name for prokaryote?
Prokaryotes are non-nucleated cells. That is, the genetic material is not contained within a nucleus, like eukaryotes, but is distributed around the cell. Bacteria are an example of prokaryotes, and one would be relatively safe using this as a substitute. Bacteria is another name for a prokayote.
Where is DNA found in the cell?
The nucleus, or center, DNA or Dioxyribonucleic acid. The DNA is in the chrimosomes in the middle of the cell.
Is 34 relatively prime?
It can be. 34 is relatively prime to 35. 34 is not relatively prime to 40.
Is 25 a relatively prime?
25 is relatively prime with 36. 25 is not relatively prime with 35.
