# Variation in chromosome count (ploidy) is impossible in evolution.  One member of a species with 2 sets of chromosomes cannot mate with a member with 4.  Thus, for the chromosome count of a species to change (and thus account for the variety of counts in nature) a vast portion of a species would have to evolve a new chromosome set simultaneously.
