For most cases, more number of chromosome or greater genome content = higher evolutionary status

Exceptionally Amphibians and some flowering plants have greater amount of genome hence termed as PARADOX or C-Value Paradox

Disparity in genome content vs evolutionary status is called as C-Value Paradox

If entire genome is encoding than mathematically human should have 106 genes but humans have only 30,000 to 50,000 genes this is also a paradoxical feature of genome

Drosophila melanogaster also shows C-value paradox in term of their number of genes.
