I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is another word for the total count of chromosomes?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Researchers compare traits such as chromosome number (karyotype), genome size, gene order, codon usage bias, and GC-content to determine what mechanisms could have produced the great variety of genomes that exist today (for recent overviews, see Brown 2002; Saccone and Pesole 2003; Benfey and Protopapas 2004; Gibson and Muse 2004; Reese 2004; Gregory 2005).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
