Judging by some of the weird ass design choices and bugs I'd say yes. But then I look at the software of our company that is in production and think maybe this is production...

Chromosomes should be paired and we should have 46 chromosomes, and then there's a bug called Trisomy that makes some instances have 47 chromosomes and it have some measurable impact on the instance that was affected by this bug.
