Re: 46 and 2,what the numbers mean

i dont understand why so many people are so hyped about the whole 46 chromosone deal, we dont all have 46
many have 45, 44, 41, 48, and 52 chromosones. but theres nothing wrong with them. quite often one attaches itself to another and sometimes they split apart, nothing wrong though. the Average preson has 46 when they are in a stage of mitosis, but again not always, it is a very intricate and elegant machine that can easily adapt and change its behaviour to accomidate the environment ie: shortage of protiens, radiation, dehydration, some scientists believe even that dna can share a phosphate chain with another strand, yeilding a 3 backbone chain. not to mention the fact that in the male 'y' chromosone, every allele (clump of base pairs) is represented in reverse somewhere else in the strand, which means it can repair itself. 44 and 2 is just an innacurate standard, nothing more.
