Genome Memes

Plants are the ultimate genetic rebels. While animals panic over a single extra chromosome, plants are out here casually rocking 48 bonus ones like it's nothing. This is polyploidy in action—plants frequently duplicate their entire genome and just roll with it, often developing new traits and even new species. Meanwhile, animals with chromosomal abnormalities typically face serious health issues. Next time someone calls you dramatic, remind them that plants literally multiply their entire genetic code and keep thriving, while we'd completely malfunction if we tried the same stunt.
