The number of genes and number of chromosomes inherited depend on the species. The number of chromosomes a species has is known as the chromosome number. For example, (disregarding polyploidy or polysomy) a human baby has 46 chromosomes, but a horse has 64. Chromosomes usually occur as one of a pair in humans, and so they have 23 pairs of chromosomes. However, it is common in plants to have many sets of chromosomes and so they do not occur in pairs, but in triplets, or as sets of 4, 5 or 6 etc. Some species of strawberries have 7 of each chromosome. The number of genes depends on how long the chromosome is, and each chromosome in each different species will have a different number of genes on the chromosome.
For example, chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes, humans have 46. Are there any animal species (or plant or other species for that matter) which has some individuals with some number of chromosomes, and some individuals with another number of chromosomes. Not including genetic conditions such as Down's Syndrome. * in some insects the males and the females have a different number (usually the male has half but not always) they are called haploodiploid * in plants different parts of the plants life cycle will have different ploidia (2 sets, 3 sets) * but the closest to what you are looking for is fungi in which each organism and sometimes different cells in the same organism have random numbers of chromosoms
Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two homologous sets of chromosomes. "occurrence of polyploidy suggests an evolutionary advantage of having multiple sets of genetic material for adaptive evolution"
Absolutely.

Yes, most plants and animals have chromosomes (although the # of chromosomes varies in different species) If you eat fruit, vegetables, grains, or meat you are eating chromosomes.
Different animals have different numbers of chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes while other animals vary in the amount of chromosomes. A pig has 38 and a horse has 64. Was there as specific animal that you wanted to know about?
Organisms that have more than two complete sets of chromosomes are said to be polyploid. This often occurs in plants.
So that the cell can divide into two identical daughter cells, each with its own genetically identical nucleus.

The largest numbers of species of organisms on the earth are currently bacteria. They out number plants and animals by far.
In fact, each species of plants and animals has a set number of chromosomes. A fruit fly, for example, has four pairs of chromosomes, while a rice plant has 12 and a dog, 39.
If species A survive only by eating 2 species of plants, then if any of those plants' population decrease, then Species A would have a severe decrease in food. But if Species B survive on 10 plants, even if all of the numbers of those plants decrease, they still have a wider range to find food. So this is why Species B has the better chance of surviving.
Cloning is the best way to grow identical plants. In plants vegetative propagation can also lead to identical plants. You would have to clone a plant in order to grow an identical plant.
It depends on the type of cell. In ordinary somatic (body) cells it is the same as the parent cell. In sex cells it is half the number. Many animals and plants have numbers of chromosomes that are different from human cells numbers.
