autopolyploidiaks
Autopolyploidiaks, commonly referred to in English as autopolyploids, are polyploid organisms whose multiple chromosome sets originate from duplication of the genome within a single species. They possess more than two homologous copies of each chromosome, which affects how their chromosomes pair and segregate during meiosis. In many autopolyploids, chromosomes can pair in various ways (multivalents), leading to polysomic or tetrasomic inheritance. This can cause reduced fertility due to abnormal gamete formation, but fertility can be restored over time or after further genome changes through diploidization or additional duplications.
Autopolyploidy arises when genome duplication occurs within a species, often through the formation of unreduced gametes,
In evolution and breeding, autopolyploids can exhibit larger cell size, increased vigor, and sometimes distinct morphological
Detection and study of autopolyploidiaks typically involve chromosome counting, flow cytometry to assess DNA content, and
