👉 A cyclostomous organism is an organism with two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This means that the individual has both copies of each chromosome, and therefore can carry a copy of each gene in its genome. For example, if one parent has three chromosomes, and the other parent has four chromosomes, then the offspring will have the same number of chromosomes as the parents, but with two sets (one set from each parent). The individual has two copies of each chromosome
