The list of organisms by chromosome count describes ploidy or numbers of chromosomes in the cells of various plants, animals, protists, and other living organisms. This number, along with the visual appearance of the chromosome, is known as the karyotype , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and can be found by looking at the chromosomes through a microscope .
The female Southern red muntjac deer is the mammal with the lowest recorded diploid number of chromosomes, where 2n = 6. [15] The male has a diploid number of seven chromosomes. In comparison, the similar Reeves's muntjac ( M. reevesi ) has a diploid number of 46 chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes found in a single complete set of chromosomes is called the monoploid number (x). The haploid number (n) refers to the total number of chromosomes found in a gamete (a sperm or egg cell produced by meiosis in preparation for sexual reproduction). Under normal conditions, the haploid number is exactly half the total ...
In both the non-animals and the comb jellies, researchers found 14 groups of genes located on separate chromosomes. But in the sponges, researchers found that those 14 groups had been rearranged ...
Most spiders have a variation of the XO system in which males have two different X chromosomes (X 1 X 2 O), while females have a pair of X 1 chromosomes and a pair of X 2 chromosomes (X 1 X 1 X 2 X 2). [1] Some spiders have more complex systems involving as many as 13 different X chromosomes. [1] Some Drosophila species have XO males. [10]
It would also be helpful to list the specific species of hyena used for its chromosome count, as it is highly unlikely for every member of Hyaenidae to possess the same chromosome number, considering the great evolutionary divergence each species underwent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.110.233 19:45, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Aldabrachelys gigantea, Aldabra giant tortoise (2019 draft, [219] 2022 chromosome scale [220]) † Chelonoidis abingdonii , Pinta Island giant tortoise (2019 [ 219 ] ) Chelonoidis phantasticus , Fernandina Island Galapagos giant tortoise (2022 [ 221 ] )
The members of the two populations are reproductively isolated due to their adaptations to distinct salt concentrations. [6] An example of reproductive isolation due to differences in the mating season are found in the toad species Bufo americanus and Bufo fowleri. The members of these species can be successfully crossed in the laboratory ...
