I've been healed my brotha, by the blessed touch of the orange! Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah?

This is a very, very rough and probably wrong estimate:
standard size of plant cell = 40 microns
1mm = 1000 microns
1000/40 = 25 cells, in 1mm
Assuming radius of Orange = 4cm = 40mm =40,000 microns;
in 40000 microns = 1000 cells.
Volume of sphere = 4/3 pie r 3
4/3 * pie 4 cubed = 268.1 cm cubed
times 10 =2681 mm cubed
2681 times 25 (cells in a mm) = about 67020.6 cells in a 4cm radius orange.
assuming 18 chromosomes in orange times 67020.6 by 18 = 1206371.6 chromosomes.
The haploid number is 18
But the diploid number will be 36, so 1206371.6 times 2 = 2412743.2 chromosomes in an orange.
hope this helps ,lol !!! it seems a bit low to me.
