    The document describes the chromosome composition of various plants and animals. It notes that wheat is hexaploid with 42 chromosomes, while tomato, potato, and maize are diploid but have different chromosome counts. Soybean is also diploid but has 40 chromosomes. Examples of animal chromosome makeup include chimpanzee and gorilla being diploid with 48 chromosomes, dog with 78 chromosomes, and horse with 64 chromosomes. The cat has 38 chromosomes. Several plant examples are also given as diploid but with different chromosome numbers. Humans are described as diploid with 46 chromosomes in an XY sex determination system.
