👉 Xenotropic is a term used in biogeography and evolutionary biology to describe organisms that are capable of developing their own genes, such as those found in species with a large number of chromosomes. These species are known as "haploid" because they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, and the other from the gametes (egg or sperm). This allows for the development of genetic diversity within the organism. Xenotropic organisms can be found in many different environments, including marine
