Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of chromosomes alone does not determine the differences between species. The genes and how they are expressed are what make each species unique. Therefore, for privet cells to be so different from human cells despite having the same number of chromosomes, the genes on privet chromosomes must be significantly different from those on human chromosomes.
