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.
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.
Same number of chromosomes
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.
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.
D. Be produced by meiosis
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.
Same number of 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.
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.

The number of chromosomes in a somatic cell.
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).
I have the same queston
There is no such number, depending on the organism the number of chromosomes varies from 1 to about 30,000,000!
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.
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.
