An organisms gets its chromosomes from its parent(s).
it has two sets of chromosomes
Yes, a karyotype is a display of an organism's chromosomes (generally in homologous pairs from largest to smallest).
Chromosomes contain the genes of an organism which are what express traits and are passed on to offspring
Same number of chromosomes
Yes, that is correct. If an organism has 16 chromosomes in its egg cells, its diploid number would be 32. This means that in its somatic cells, which are diploid, it would have 32 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair.
Chromosomes
The organism with the most chromosomes in its cells is the marbled lungfish, which has 132 chromosomes.
Chromosomes are not defined as organisms, but they are found in organisms. The chromosomes are part of an organism's genetic information. ~KKMG1
It varies from organism to organism. Humans have 23 chromosomes in a haploid (gamate) cell.
it has two sets of chromosomes
From its parents!
Chromosomes that are known as the X and Y chromosomes.
The paired chromosomes that are similar within an organism, including autosomes, are called homologous chromosomes.
Yes, a karyotype is a display of an organism's chromosomes (generally in homologous pairs from largest to smallest).
An organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes is diploid, meaning it has pairs of homologous chromosomes. In humans, each somatic cell typically contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that most cells in the organism have. Most human cells have 46 chromosomes, but eggs and sperm have 23 chromosomes each.
An organism with a nucleus containing both the X and Y chromosomes is typically male in species where sex is determined by these chromosomes. This organism would have a combination of genetic information from both chromosomes, influencing their physical and reproductive characteristics.
