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

Yes, if two organisms have the same full set number of chromosomes, then they would have to be the same species. Every species has a different amount of chromosomes.?æ

In any ecosystem the basic resources that organisms need for survival are always in limited supply. is a potential result of these limitations?
competition among members of an ecosystem for resources and elimination of one or more species from an ecosystem
Why do diploids always contain an even number of chromosomes?
The diploid number is always even because it contains two complete sets of chromosomes. Since there is two sets you split the diploid number in half. Two times any number is always even.
Why arent chromosomes always visible?
Chromosomes always visible because their not as spread out and easy to see as during metaphase.
What is is the difference between interspecific competition and intraspecific competition?
Interspecific : Interspecific competition, in ecology, is a form of competition in which individuals of different species vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space). The other form of competition is intraspecific competition, which involves organisms of the same species.Intraspecific : Intraspecific competition is a particular form of competition in which members of the same species vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food, light, nutrients, space). This can be contrasted with Interspecific competition, in which different species compete.Source(s):Google Definitions
Is the chromosomes number related to complexity of the organism?
Different creatures have different numbers of chromosomes; chromosomes are always diploid, or found in matching pairs. The number of chromosomes is in no way related to the complexity of the organism. For instance, fruit flies have eight chromosomes, humans have forty-six, butterflies have 380, and ferns have a remarkable 1200 chromosomes.
Do more-complex organisms always have more chromosomes than simpler organisms do.?
Chromosomes contain the genes or the DNA of all organisms. Being more complex, does not mean that you have more chromosomes, for example: a human being has 48 chromosomes while chickens and dogs both have 78.
Are organisms that look alike always part of the same species?
no they can be but aren't always from the same species
Do more complex organisms always have more chromosomes than simpler organisims?
No
Why is the chromosome number in organisms always even?
Chromosomes come in pairs, so the number is even.
In any ecosystem the basic resources that organisms need for survival are always in limited supply. is a potential result of these limitations?
competition among members of an ecosystem for resources and elimination of one or more species from an ecosystem
Do more complex organisms always have more chromosomes than than simpler organisms do?
More complex eukaryotes do not necessarily have more chromosomes than simpler eukaryotes do. An example from the Holt Science book is that fruit flies have 8 chromosomes, potatoes have 48, and humans have 46. The human cells are more complex, but they don't have quite as many chromosomes as potatoes!
Are organisms in the same genus are not necessarily members of the same family?
Two organisms belonging to the same genus always belong to the same family.
How many chromosomes do protists have?
Parameciums are unicellular organisms, hence they only have one cell.
When do species compete in an ecosystem?
Since food and other resources are limited, the members of a species must compete with each other to survive. Competition does not always involve direct physical fights between members of a species. Instead, competition is usually indirect.
Using genus and species how can you tell if organisms are similar?
To tell if organisms are similar you need to use the genus, species name always changes. For example: wolves and domestic dogs. A wolf's scientific name is canis lupus. A dog's scientific name is canis familiaris. All animals in the dog family start with canis, then from there there species name, and then from there, there is the sub-species name.
Is there any other species with 46 chromosomes?
Black rat, and like 8 others but black rats don't always have 46.
Why do diploids always contain an even number of chromosomes?
The diploid number is always even because it contains two complete sets of chromosomes. Since there is two sets you split the diploid number in half. Two times any number is always even.
