Question 11

In a note on DNA, genes and chromosomes, one statement about chromosome numbers is false. Which statement is it?

  1. Different species can have different numbers of chromosomes
  2. Chromosome number does not change as an organism grows
  3. Two different species may happen to have the same chromosome number
  4. Counting the chromosomes tells you how advanced a species isBonne réponse

Explication

Chromosome number varies from species to species without tracking complexity, so it cannot be used to rank organisms. Species most people would call simple can carry more chromosomes than species people call complex, which is exactly why the count says nothing about how advanced anything is.
