How do results of polyploidy differ in plants and animals?
animals very in many different ways. polyploidy is not different, plants don't have living blood cells so the way the ployploidy reacts verys
What do Most polyploid plants arise as a result of?
HYBRIDIZATION
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.
In plant what is the diploid form called?
In plants, what is the diploid form called?
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 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 types of organisms are polyploid?
Some animals, such as goldfish, salmon, and salamanders are polyploid, but it is more common among ferns and flowering plants. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is an example. Wheat has strains that are diploid (2 sets of chromosomes) , tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes), and hexaploid (six sets of chromosomes). Many members of the genus Brassica are tetraploids. Polyploidy may occur due to abnormal cell division, either during mitosis, or commonly during metaphase I in meiosis.
What are some characteristics of polyplodiy plants?
Polyploid plants are often larger and have other accentuated characteristics, making them useful in agriculture (bigger seeds) and horticulture (larger flowers) Polyploidy may also cause seedless fruits which is a commercial benefit (banana, seedless watermelons, seedless grapes)
What do Most polyploid plants arise as a result of?
HYBRIDIZATION
A common means of speciation in plants but not in animal is?
Polyploidy
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
Polyploidy is better tolerated in plants than in animals?
True.
What is a polyploid animal?
Diploid: adj. 1 Double or twofold. 2 Having a homologous pair of chromosomes for each characteristic except sex, the total number of chromosomes being twice that of a gamete.-n 1. a diploid cell. 2. An individual characterized by a diploid chromosome number.It has two copies of each chromosome.
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.
Any species with a multiple set of chromosomes is?
Organisms that have more than two complete sets of chromosomes are said to be polyploid. This often occurs in plants.
