euploidiát
Euploidiát is a term used in genetics to describe a condition where an organism has an abnormal number of chromosomes, specifically a multiple of the haploid number. Unlike aneuploidy, which refers to the presence of an odd number of chromosomes, euploidy involves an even number of chromosomes. This can occur due to errors in cell division, such as nondisjunction, where chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis or mitosis.
Euploidy can manifest in various forms, including triploidy (three sets of chromosomes), tetraploidy (four sets), and
In humans, euploidy is relatively rare and is often associated with specific syndromes or conditions. For instance,
Understanding euploidy is crucial for fields such as agriculture, where polyploid plants are often cultivated for
