Why do potatoes have more chromosomes than humans?

The number of chromosomes of a species has little to do with the complexity of the organism or the amount of DNA. The reason for this is, chromosomes are known to break and form two or more new chromosomes, or fuse into one. The chromosomes of the potato and the potato lineage may have undergone many such changes, and the human lineage may have undergone a different series, resulting in the potato having more chromosomes.


How much DNA does a human share with a potato?

Humans share very little with a potato. Chromosomes are a collection of DNA woven around protein. A chromosome may contain as many as 100,000 to billions of nucleotides in one chain. Chimpanzee and humans share a very SIMILAR DNA pattern, where as a potato and a human being don't. So although they both have 48 chromosomes, their DNA STUCTURE is vastly different.
