Phylogenetically proximal species

Do phylogenetically proximal species include cells with proximal chromosome counts?

Verified

The number of chromosomes usual of each and every species is proximal for phylogenetically proximal species (for illustration, chimpanzee, orangutan, gorilla and human). However it is not impossible that evolutionary distant species, such as rat and oat, bears alike karyotypes and similar total number of chromosomes.

Even presenting equivalent number of chromosomes evolutionary distant species contain radically distinct characteristics as the quantity and the series of nucleotides which compose their respective DNA molecules are quite dissimilar.
