How many more chromosomes than a human does a strawberry have?

10 more (56 instead of 46)

Background

A garden strawberry has 56 chromosomes, a human only 46. So the little fruit has ten more chromosomes than we do. Many strawberries are so-called eightfold chromosome plants. That means their DNA has eight sets instead of two like ours.
