Yes they do. Some species have the same number of chromosomes but not all.

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.


If two organisms have the same full set number of chromosomes are the always members of the same species?

Not necessarily. While many members of the same species may have the same number of chromosomes, it does not guarantee that two organisms with the same number of chromosomes are of the same species. Chromosome number is just one characteristic used to define species, but other factors like genetic makeup, morphology, and ability to reproduce with one another are also important in determining species classification.


How many chromosomes do eukaryotic organisms have in their body cells?

It depends on the type of eukaryotic organism. For example, both humans and fruit flies are a part of the kingdom Animalia, which is composed solely of eukaryotic organisms. However, humans have 43 chromosomes in 23 homologous pairs, while fruit flies have 8 chromosomes in 4 homologous pairs.


Where are the human cells with 46 chromosomes found?

In humans, the diploid number (or 2n) is 46. Somatic cells contain 2n number of chromosomes. Somatic cells are those that make up the body. Every cells that makes up every organ contains 2n number of chromosomes. Gametes (or sex cells) contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes


How many chromosomes does a horsetail have?

A housefly has 12 chromosomes in a diploid. Every living organism on the planet has a chromosome number represented by a diploid number (2n).

Why does the nucleus of a fruit fly contain less chromosomes than the nucleus of a human?

Every species has a fixed number of chromosomes in its nucleus so every species has a different chromosome number from the other.


Why Chromosomes number is used in the identification of species?

Chromosome number is used in species identification because it is a stable and unique characteristic of a species. Variations in chromosome number can indicate genetic relationships between species, and can help distinguish between closely related species. Additionally, chromosome number is often conserved within a species, making it a useful tool for taxonomic classification.


What is a species of organism where the pattern and number of you is the same every time it is formed?

A species that meets this criterion is Homo sapiens (humans), where individuals typically have the same number and pattern of fingers and toes each time they are formed.


How may chromosomes does sperm cells have?

Well, every species is different as different species have different numbers of chromosomes. So it would depend on the organism. But, if you are asking about humans. Humans have 46 chromosomes. So a human sperm would have 23 chromosomes.


What is the significance of the number 46 concerning DNA?

Chromosomes are comprised of DNA. Chromosomes are located inside the nucleus of every cell. There are exactly 46 chromosomes in every one of your body's cells.

What are all the cancers?

Well I can help with some, lung, breast, liver, and more. Pretty much every [almost every] part of the body can have cancer. There's also cancer of the mouth. Pancreatic. Usually, cancers are identified by what organ or tissue they came from, but it's lots more complicated. Some of us now know that the prime characteristic is that cancers are aneuploid. That is that each cancer has broken or missing or extra chromosomes. Since a species is defined by what chromosomes it has, practically every cancer is a new species. When oncologists say there are 250 different cancers, they vastly underestimate the number. The real number is more like 250 million different cancers and more every day. Even so, there are some experimental cancer cures in clinical trials that seem promising for a wide range of cancers.


What is the significance of the chromosome number in gametes?

Chromosome numbers in gametes are always half that of normal cell. For example human cells have 46 chromosomes but a human gamete (sex cell e.g sperm/eggs) will have half that number which in this case will be 23. The number is chromosomes is halfed in gametes so that when the sperm meets the egg and the fuse to make a zygote that you get half the genetic material from your Mother and half from you Father, meaning you are not a clone.


Why is the number of chromosomes always even?

because every chromosome must have a pair to survive


How many chromosomes has a fox sperm cell?

A fox has a diploid number of 50, meaning that in every cell there are 50 chromosomes. Thus, the haploid sperm cell only has 25 chromosomes.
