Which statement is true about the total number of chromosomes in most eukaryotic cells? a. chromosome numbers vary widely. b. plants and animals have about the same number of chromosomes, but small organisms have fewer. c. they have about the same number of chromosomes. d. the larger the organism, the more chromosomes it has.

The correct answer is- A. Chromosome numbers vary widely.

Chromosome can be described as thread like structure that is composed of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) and possesses genes ( segment of DNA coding for a particular protein) on it.

Eukaryotic cells ( such as plant cell, animal cell) have variable number of chromosomes.

For instance, human beings have 23 pairs of chromosomes whereas it is different in plants depending on the species.

Thus, A) is the right answer.

the solute can move "downhill," from regions of higher to lower concentration, relying on the specificity of the protein carrier to pass through the membrane. this process is called passive transport or facilitated diffusion, and does not require energy.
