    No, this is not surprising

    Explanation:

    No, it is not surprising that it is given 7 groups of chromosomes, that is, each chromosome is paired. This makes 7 * 2 = 14 chromosomes in the entire meta phase plate. The human meta phase represents the 23 groups of chromosomes on the plate, that is, 23 * 2 = 46 chromosomes. Every organism on this planet has several chromosomes in diploid or 2N, otherwise an equal distribution of chromosomes on the any phase is not possible.
