What types of organisms are polyploidy?
Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two homologous sets of chromosomes. "occurrence of polyploidy suggests an evolutionary advantage of having multiple sets of genetic material for adaptive evolution"
What is an extra set of chromosome?
The condition in which an organism has complete extra sets of chromosomes is called polyploidy. This condition can cause a number of severe birth defects. Most do not live a full lifespan for their species.
What can result in the immediate creation of a new species?
That depends on what you mean by 'immediate'. Drastic rates of evolution are possible in many species, where mutations are either relatively very common or where the environment results in harsh selection. But nothing will make one species "immediately" evolve into another in one generation, or even two or ten.
A pattern of evolution that results when two unrelated species begin to appear similar because of environmental conditions is?
Analogous evolution. Convergent evolution.
What are some examples of direct evidence for evolution?
Polyploidy in plants, for one instance the doubling of chromosomes at mating, is direct evidence not only for evolution but for speciation as well. I fact many to most modern angiosperm species are developed this way.
Polyploidy instantly produces a new plant species because it does what?
no

What are polyploidy and when is this condition useful?
Polyploidy allows the formation of new species derived from different ancestors. Polyploid is the condition in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes.
What is one specific example of observed evolution in a species?
Polyploidy in plants leading to new species.
What is an extra set of chromosome?
The condition in which an organism has complete extra sets of chromosomes is called polyploidy. This condition can cause a number of severe birth defects. Most do not live a full lifespan for their species.
How many generations does it take to develop a new plant species by polyploidy?
One
What has the author M L Kapoor written?
M. L. Kapoor has written: 'Studies on induced polyploidy and mutagenesis in some hardwood tree species' -- subject(s): Polyploidy, Breeding, Trees

Polyploid speciation occurs through?
Polyploidy is to have two copies of each chromosome, itâ??s important in crossbreeds to allow reproduction. Polyploidy speciation requires altering a chromosome number; itâ??s more common in plant species.
What advantage does polyploidy give to a plant breeder?
It produces bigger and more flourishing crops and breeders could use the polyploidy to breed other plants and make them produce more food which would result in a lot more money for the breeders and sellers.
What is a infertile hybrid?
It is most common when two organisms of different species attempt to reproduce. The combination of genes is usually not fully functional meaning that the offspring is unable to reproduce itself. This can also occur in plants although to a lesser extent as plants are capable of polyploidy. In humans polyploidy causes complicated genetic diseases.
Is there evidence of a species evolving into another species in recorded time?
Go to, talkorigins.org and you will find 29 instances of speciation recorded in modern times. Think of polyploidy in plants and you will see that speciation is happening under your nose all the time. You eat breakfast, lunch and dinner on polyploid species
