Polyploidlerin
Polyploidin refers to an organism that has more than two complete sets of chromosomes. In a typical diploid organism, chromosomes exist in homologous pairs, with one set inherited from each parent. Polyploid organisms, however, possess three or more sets of these chromosomes. This condition is known as polyploidy.
Polyploidy can arise through various mechanisms, including errors during meiosis (the cell division process that produces
Polyploidy is common in plants, where it has played a significant role in their evolution and diversification.
The consequences of polyploidy can vary. In plants, it can sometimes lead to increased size, vigor, and
