Bee chromosome number in chapter 16 - "The Bee"

Chapter
16 of the Holy Quran is named Al Nahl ( النَّحْلِ ) which means "The
Bee". An interesting fact is that the male honey-bee has 16 chromosomes
and that the female bee has 16 pairs of chromosomes (32 in total). The
chromosomes are found at the nuclei of body cells and they contain all
the genetic material needed for the development and functioning of
living creatures, including bees. In Bees, chromosomes direct their
behavior of producing honey. Different species have different number of
chromosomes. Humans have 46 while the hoopoe bird has as many as 126
chromosomes. In this chapter there are other signs referring to the
numbers 16 and 32.
The word Al Nahl ( النَّحْلِ ), "The Bee"
appears only one time in the whole Holy Quran. It appears in verse
number 68 of this chapter:

"And thy Lord inspired the bee, 'Take to houses in the mountains, and in the trees, and in the hives they build."

Let us consider these facts:

This verse consists of exactly 16 unique Arabic letters (that is, repeated excluded). The 16 Arabic letters are:
( و، ا، ح، ى، ر، ب، ك، ل، ن، ت، خ، ذ، م، ج، ش، ع )

The 16^th
letter in the verse is the letter Lam ( لِ ) in ِthe word Al Nahl (
النَّحْلِ ), "The Bee" which is actually the last letter of this word.
In other words, as the word Bee ends, 16 letters have passed in verse.

The
letter Waw ( و ) in Arabic is equivalent to the word "and" in English
(it has a conjunctive function). At the time the Holy Quran was
revealed, this letter was written as a seperate part from the following
word, and some researchers count it as such (as a seperate word). The
number of words, including conjunctive Waws, in this verse is exactly
16.

The total number of verses in this
chapter is 128. Verse number 128 consists of 8 words, the number 128 is
equal to 16 x 8. Even more interestingly, this verse consists of 32
letters, corresponding to Bee diploid chromosome number. The verse
states:

"Lo! Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him and those who are doers of good"

According to one
table of assigning letters number values (based on the 99 names of
Allah) the letters making the arabic word Al Nahl ( النَّحْلِ ), "The
Bee" gets the total value of 16.
