The table shows the relative size of the genomes (total DNA in the nucleus), number of genes, and number of chromosomes for a variety of different organisms. What is the relationship between the complexity of an organism and the number of chromosomes that it has? A) There is a strong tendency for advanced organisms to have more chromosomes. B) There is a strong tendency for advanced organisms to have fewer chromosomes. C) There is no relationship at all between the complexity of an organism and the number of chromosomes. D) There is a weak link between advanced organisms and more chromosomes, but some organisms do not follow this rule.

Respuesta :

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Answer:

D

Explanation:

There is a weak link between advanced organisms and more chromosomes, but some organisms do not follow this rule. Mammals (human, rat, mice) DO have more chromosomes than roundworms, bacteria, or even yeast. However, yeast, which is not very advanced, has more than the roundworm and a plant. The link is weak and has exceptions.
