Answer:

Yes, extra chromosomes can be received by the tasmanian devil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Extra chromosomes can be received by the tasmanian devil due to tumor disease in the tasmanian devil. In the beginning the old genome of tasmanian devil has 13 chromosomes but with the tumor disease, it receives one extra chromosome and completed 14 chromosomes. Tumor occurs when the dead cells are not removed from the body and the new ones are formed.
