Hello, I'm Tarl N.. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of organisms by chromosome count, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Where do you get 9 chromosomes for this organism? It's an unlikely number, and you didn't provide a citation. Tarl N.

I didn't provide a citation because it was hard to do from my phone and planned to add it later when I get to my PC. This organism is haploid and has 8 autosomes and one sex chromosome. Sometimes there are polyploid organisms that have 9*2=18 or 9*3=27 chromosomes so I probably should have specified that in the article too. Here is an article and a quote from it: Masaki Shimamura - Marchantia polymorpha : Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Morphology of a Model System All plants from each subspecies share the same chromosome number, n = 9, including a female or male chromosome ( Haupt 1932 , Tatuno 1957 , Bischler 1986 ). The chromosome number n = 9 is the basic number in many species of Marchantiales ( Tatuno 1957 , Bischler 1998) W4Vdragon (talk) 07:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
