The haploid number of chromosomes in horses is 32. This means that horses have a total of 64 chromosomes in their diploid state, with each parent contributing one set of 32 chromosomes. This chromosome number is characteristic of the species Equus caballus.
No, different species have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, dogs have 78 chromosomes, and horses have 64 chromosomes, for example. The number of chromosomes in a species typically remains constant within that species.
because they each have a different number of chromosomes
The diploid number of chromosomes in a horse's cell is 64, therefore they have 32 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic cells.
Horses and Donkeys are considered separate due to the different number of chromosomes each possesses. They are however in the same family and can breed together to produce mules and hinnies, which also have a different number of chromosomes and are typically sterile.
Horses have 64 chromosomes while donkeys have 62, thus a horse has two more chromosomes than a donkey. (For the record a mule has 63 a mix of the horses and donkeys numbers.)
