You don't show the table...but you should see that the more complex an organism, the more chromosomes and the more genes it has.

A bacteria has a small genome. perhaps it has about 5000 genes. it also has 1 chromosome.

Yeast are more complicated than bacteria. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the yeast that makes beer, wine and bread, has about 6300 genes and 16 chromosomes.

A human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), and has likely around 20,000 genes.

Answer:

There is a weak link between advanced organisms and more chromosomes, but some organisms do not follow this rule.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are long strands of DNA associated with histone proteins in a complex arrangement that can be seen under an optical microscope on cells in the metaphase phase of cell division. These structures are located in the nucleus and vary from one species to another. In man, there are 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell.

Although we are bound to believe that more complex organisms have a greater number of chromosomes to manage all of this complexity, however, this is not always true. An example of this can be seen between plants and humans, although humans are more complex, the number of chromosomes is proportional to the number of chromosomes in plants.

Yanka [14]

Elephants have multiple copies of the p53 genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

<h3>What is the role of p53 genes in elephants?</h3>

P53 is an important regulator of the DNA repair processes and controls uncontrolled cell proliferation. When DNA is harmed, the protein becomes active and aids in orchestrating a response that stops DNA replication and fixes any incorrect copies of the cell. The oncogene MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase, another protein, is responsible for deactivating the p53 repair activity in duplicated cells with intact DNA since it is not required.

A human with only two alleles from a single gene has much fewer molecular anti-cancer interactions than an elephant, which has 40 alleles, or versions, from its twenty p53 genes. Although the elephant may appear to have excessive genetic diversity, each of its 40 alleles is structurally slightly different.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the _____ genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

Describe how changes in an ecosystem can affect organisms that live there..
Shtirlitz [24]
Well it really depends on what kind of change there is. For this I'll use a drought as an example. If a drought occurs in an area the plant life and vegetation will start to die off in that area. From there, primary consumers would run out of food. then secondary consumers, and so forth and so on. it'd be like putting a cow in a field of dirt with no food and a large bucket of water. Eventually the cow will die of starvation. Now apply this to all of the animals in that ecosystem.
