How many chromosomes do they contain?

Bacteria contain one circular chromosome (and several tiny circular plasmids), some slime molds contain hundreds of thousands of linear chromosomes. Other organisms contain various numbers of chromosomes depending on the species.


Do more-complex organisms always have more chromosomes than simpler organisms do.?

Any chromosome that does not determine gender?
