Ahem,
"Genetics" M. W. Strickberger (University of Missouri at Saint Louis)
lists the *diploid* number of chromosomes for the following:
Man (Homo sapiens) 46
Rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) 42
Cat (Felis catus) 38
Donkey (Equus arinus) 62
Toad (Bufo americanus) 22
Mosquito (Culex pipiens) 6
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) 42
Kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) 22
Garden pea (Pisum sativum) 14
Evening primrose(Oenothera biennis) 14
Still with me?
"Iris" F. Kohlein lists the diploid numbers of the following as:
Iris milessii 26
Iris missouriensis 38
Iris psuedacorus 34
And this one also from "Genetics" is especially peculiar.......
Cockroach (Blatta germanica) 23 (male) 24 (female)
And now some words from our sponsors......
