Organisms with three or more sets of chromosomes are called?
polyploid
What species other than humans have a haploid number of 23 chromosomes?
Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.
Any species with a multiple set of chromosomes is?
Organisms that have more than two complete sets of chromosomes are said to be polyploid. This often occurs in plants.
Does the number of chromosomes determine how complex an organism is?
No there isn't. Humans are much more complex than a fern, yet the Adder's Tongue Fern has 1262 chromosomes and a human has only 46. It also doesn't work the other way either (more complex organisms having less chromosomes) for fruit flies have 8 chromosomes and dogs have 78. Also, chimpanzees have the same number of chromosomes as potatoes and, surely, they are on different complexity levels.
Organisms made up of more than one cell are called?
Any organism made of more than one cell is called a multicellular organism.
Organisms with three or more sets of chromosomes are called?
polyploid
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.
Can organisms with fewer chromosomes reproduce more easily than organism with more number of chromosomes?
can organisms with fewer no of chromosome reproduce more easily than organim with more
Do more complex organisms always have more chromosomes than simpler organisims?
No
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 with 3 or more sets of chromosomes known as haploid organisms?
No - haploid cells contain half the normal amount of chromosomes.Polyploid is the term used for a cell/organism with more than 2 sets of chromosomes.
What species other than humans have a haploid number of 23 chromosomes?
Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.
Why do some macromolecules last longer than others in living organisms?
In all living organisms there is a nucleic acid known as Deoxyribonucleic acid. in this DNA are chromosomes. protecting the ends of these chromosomes are small caps called telomeres. these protect the cells from deteriorating but lack the ability to keep themselves from decaying; therefore, in some organisms, these telomeres are more efficient and keep those macromolecules lasting longer than in other organisms.
Any species with a multiple set of chromosomes is?
Organisms that have more than two complete sets of chromosomes are said to be polyploid. This often occurs in plants.
What are organisms that have more then one cell?
They are called multicellular organisms.
Are there more kingdoms phylums or classes of organisms?
There are more classes of organisms, since it is the most specific of the three.
What happens when polyploidy has taken place?
Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two paired sets of chromosomes.
