Represents	chromosome number (Q54031484)
Data type	Quantity
Allowed values	\d+
Example	Homo sapiens (Q15978631) → 46
Source	e.g. Chromosome numbers of the flora of Germany
Planned use	add chromosome number typical for a given species to items which are instance of (P31) taxon (Q16521)
Robot and gadget jobs	collecting data from external databases

Motivation

Discussion

Oppose Good use case, but use has part(s) (P527), qualified with quantity (P1114); like this. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:16, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pigsonthewing: For me this is strange. Homo sapiens doesn't have 46 chromosomes just as he has two legs. He has 46 chromosomes in each cell. Tubezlob (🙋) 08:30, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When I first read the name of the property I thought it was about the number of the chromosome t which a particular gene is located. Given the intended meaning how about "amount of chromosomes" as name? Is there a reasoning for capitalizing "chromosome"? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 12:33, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- It appears that "chromosome count" is well accepted. - Brya (talk) 12:52, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
