The fern plant Ophioglossum reticulatum (netted adder's-tongue) has 630 or 631 pairs of chromosomes. Ophioglossum plants have more chromosomes than any other known living organism.

Do gametes have a even or odd number of chromosomes?

Gametes have an odd number of chromosomes due to the process of meiosis, where the number of chromosomes is halved. This allows for the fusion of gametes during fertilization to produce offspring with the correct number of chromosomes.


Am organism that reproduces asexually will have offspring that have?

Same number of chromosomes


If the number of chromosomes in the skin cells of an organism is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organisms egg cells?

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.


How many chromosomes will a gamete of this organism have?

The gamete will have half the number of chromosomes as compared to the somatic cells of the organism. For example, in humans, a gamete will have 23 chromosomes.


How do you find the total number of chromosomes of an organism when given the haploid number?

To find the total number of chromosomes in an organism, you would multiply the haploid number by 2. This is because the haploid number represents half of the total number of chromosomes in a cell. So, total number of chromosomes = haploid number x 2.


Diploid number of an organism describe what?

The number of chromosomes in a somatic cell.


All cells within an organism will have the same number of chromosomes except the gamete?

This is not entirely accurate. All cells in an organism carry the same number of chromosomes, except for gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are haploid and carry half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells (diploid).


Why must the number of chromosomes in the sperm and egg be half the number of chromosomes in other cells of an organism?

How many chromosomes in most living things?

There is no such number, depending on the organism the number of chromosomes varies from 1 to about 30,000,000!


What is the number of chromosomes in present offspring compared to the number of chromosomes in the parent organism during the process of cloning?

The number of chromosomes in the present offspring during cloning is the same as the parent organism, as the offspring inherits an exact genetic copy of the parent's DNA, including the same number of chromosomes.


Why do biologists use dividing cells to determine the number of chromosomes in an organism?

Biologists use dividing cells to determine the number of chromosomes in an organism because chromosomes are most visible and distinct during cell division. By observing dividing cells under a microscope, biologists can count the number of chromosomes present, which provides information about the genetic makeup of the organism.


If the number of chromosomes in the skin cell of an organism is 28 what is the number of chromosomes in the organism's cells?

depends on the organism, but (i think) it should be half the normal number of chromosomes in a normal cell, because the gametes (egg and sperm) are haploid cells, meaning they have half the number because when they fuse together in fertilisation they need to have the correct amount of chromosomes so that they can duplicate and grow into an embryo.
