Salt water fish actually drink the salt water, excrete the salt, and are left with unsalted water in their body; they do this because the sea water, through the process of osmosis, draws out water from the body. <span>
When they are placed in fresh water, they continue to drink the water, but since the water is now less saline that the fish, water is no longer being drawn out, and in most cases (especially if the transfer was too quick), will start absorbing water, hence they will typically die. </span>

kherson [118]

Answer:

No information can be inferred

Chromosome number provides no reference for establishing any relationship between organisms. The number of chromosome cannot depict whether a living species belong to plant kingdom or animal kingdom. It cannot even depict the evolutionary history of any species. Thus, the organism with lesser chromosome has not necessarily evolved from the species having larger number of chromosome or vice versa.  

Chromosome number can only depict the quantity of genetic material with in an organism and hence no relationship can be established living species only on the basis of chromosome number.
