An animal must have an even amount of chromosomes because, every trait has to have a pair. All chromosomes have to have an even number of chromosomes, otherwise the organisms would not be correctly formed.
Turner's syndrome is caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome. Since the gene for red-green color blindness is located on the X chromosome, if the girl inherited the X chromosome carrying the red-green color blindness gene from her father, she could have the condition even though her father has normal vision. Her mother would be a carrier of the gene, but with two X chromosomes, she likely does not exhibit red-green color blindness herself.
No. Not even close.
There are a number of organisms that thrive in the cold. These include a number of bacteria and other extremophiles. There are also algae that can cope with it and even arctic cod which lives in a very cold environment.
High methylation of a chromosome typically leads to gene silencing, as it can inhibit the binding of transcription factors and RNA polymerase needed for gene expression. This can result in decreased or altered gene activity, impacting cellular functions and potentially leading to various diseases or abnormalities.
No, some bacteria and other unicellular organisms have a single chromosome
Chromosomes come in pairs, so the number is even.
All organisms, leaving out a select few have to have an even amount of chromosomes because they all sexually reproduce. Therefore when they go through Meiosis and Mitosis they need a even number to reproduce. If there was an odd number in Mitosis then one chromosome instead of 46-23 or 24-12 being evenly split would have to end up being 23-11.5 with a half which isn't possible.
because every chromosome must have a pair to survive
Yes, In most cases all somatic cells are diploid but in some organisms it is not the case, Gametophytes of plants are always haploid. Bacteria are also haploid. In angiosperms, the endosperm; which is considered somatic; is a tissue consisting triploid cell. Some time its chromosome number varies from 2n to 15n.In some conifers , like Sequoia sempervirens, chromosome number is 6n (Hexaploids).So, even in somatic cells, there is a large variety in chromosome number.
In normal arithmetic, never.
Chromosomes come from two parents. They match up so the number must be divisible by two.
A diploid number means there are two of every kind of chromosome. For example, humans have 2 sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46. Two times any number results in an even number.

All the autosomes are paired but the sex chromosome of a number of animals are not paired and they reproduce successfully.
