The number of chromosomes can vary widely between species. However, in general, individuals of the same species have the same number of chromosomes.

How many chromosomes does every organism has?

Most organisms have a specific number of chromosomes that is characteristic for their species. For example, humans typically have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), while dogs have 78 chromosomes (39 pairs). However, the number of chromosomes can vary among different species.


Ture or false all organisms have the same number of chromosomes?

False. Different species have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), while dogs have 78 chromosomes (39 pairs).


Do All eukaryotic karyotypes contain 46 chromosomes?

No. Different species have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes, domestic cats have 38 chromosomes, and domestic dogs have 78 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are present in genetics?

Different organisms have different numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total) while cows have 30 pairs (60 total) and goldfish have 50-52 pairs (100-104 total).


Did organisms from bacteria to plants to humans have 46 chromosomes true or false?

False. Organisms may have varying numbers of chromosomes. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes, while bacteria typically have one circular chromosome. Plants can have different numbers of chromosomes depending on the species.


Do all sexually-reproducing organisms have the same sex chromosomes as human?

No, not all sexually-reproducing organisms have the same sex chromosomes as humans. Humans possess a XY sex-determination system, where males have XY chromosomes and females have XX chromosomes. Other organisms can have different systems; for example, birds typically have a ZW system, where males are ZZ and females are ZW, while some reptiles and fish may have varied systems. The diversity in sex chromosomes reflects the evolutionary adaptations of different species.


How do scientists use chromosome comparisons to determine the evolutionary relationships among organisms?

Organisms that are closely related usually have very similar chromosomes numbers and a large degree of homology (similarity) beween their chromosomes (but the chromosomes are different enough to maintain genetic isolation).


Is a Ginko tree prokaryote or Eukaryote?

A Ginkgo tree is a eukaryote. Eukaryotes are organisms with cells that have a true nucleus enclosed within a membrane, which Ginkgo trees possess. Prokaryotes, on the other hand, lack this membrane-bound nucleus, making them structurally different from eukaryotes.


What is a organism whose cells have a nucleus?

eukaryote cells or eukaryote organisms.


How many chromosomes does each cell have in inter phase?

Thre are 46 chromosomes in any common human cell during interphase. 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sexual chromosomes.


What organisms with three or more sets of chromosomes called?

Organisms with three or more sets of chromosomes are called polyploids. This can occur in plants and some animals, where multiple sets of chromosomes are present in each cell. Polyploidy can result from errors in cell division or hybridization between different species.


Can organisms with fewer chromosomes reproduce more easily than organism with more number of chromosomes?

Not necessarily. The number of chromosomes does not correlate directly with an organism's ability to reproduce. Organisms with different numbers of chromosomes have evolved various mechanisms to reproduce successfully, and factors like genetic diversity and adaptability are more important for reproductive success than just the number of chromosomes.
