A specie with a diploid chromosome number of 4 if gametes were formed by mitosis rather than meiosis what would happen to the chromosome number of the offspring of these organisms over generations?

the next generation offs will be with double set of chromosomes. and the set of chromosomes will multiply with the generations as the mitosis is equal division.

A diploid cell missing a chromosome is called a?
The condition in which a diploid cell is missing a chromosome or has an extra chromosome is called aneuploidy.

Are there two complete sets of chromosomes in a diploid cell?
yes, there is a pair of chromosome in diploid cell.
What is the nature of chromosome in a non mitotic cell?
diploid no of chromozomes

Does a zygote ha ve a diploid chromosome number?
yes zygote do have diploid chromosome number
What is the cell wtith double number chroosomes?
Cells which contain two of each chromosome (two sets of chromosomes) are said to be diploid. In most organisms, the body cells are diploid.
Meiosis is significant to most living organisms because it?
allows sexual reproduction to maintain the diploid chromosome number. (apex)
What is a life cycle in which organisms switch back and forth between diploid and haploid stages?
no
Why do diploid cells undergo meiosis?
Meiosis is needed to produce healthy offspring with a diploid chromosome set. Therefore, the diploid set from the mother as well as that one of the father needs to be reduced in half. So these reduced cells with haploid chromosome sets can merge and produce one diploid set. Without that reduction, two diploid sets would merge and the offspring would have a tetraploid set (=4 different allels for one gene). Maybe that's not that fatal. But just think furhter. If two of such children would reproduce, the outcome would be offspring with a octaploid set (= 8 copies for the same gene)!
What is it when a diploid has an extra chromosome?
no
What is trisomics?
A diploid cell with an extra chromosome. Basically a diploid with an extra chromosome of one type, producing a chromosome number of the form 2n + l.
What one is diploid and which one is haploid?
Diploid is an organism/cell having normally two copies of each DNA molecule (i.e. chromosome). Haploid is the one having one copy. Therefore, humans are diploid organisms but bacteria are haploid
What does it mean when a chromosome is diploid?
it has split in two
