Errors in cell division. Can occur during mitosis or in metaphase I of meiosis.
An organism is tetraploid if each autosomal cell contains 4 copies of each chromosome.
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
If it is skipped the cell does not finish division and will then have at least two nuclei.Cytokinesis failure leads to both centrosome amplification and production of tetraploid cells, which may set the stage for the development of tumor cells.However, tetraploid cells are abundant components of some normal tissues including liver and heart. In humans, the number of polyploid cells averages 30–40% in the adult liver.
From the category the question was placed in I assume you meant a human egg cell. In which case, the short answer is no. The longer version would be that a tetraploid zygote might survive for a while but it will not make it through the embryonic stage. The fetus will not form, the embryo will not survive that long.
Wheat of the species Triticum aestivum (bread wheat), is hexaploid, with 42 chromosomes. Durum wheat, Triticum turgidum var. durum, is tetraploid with 28 chromosomes, and is the primary wheat for making pasta.Source: Wikipedia

hexaploid
Yes
Most tetraploid organisms are fertile because they have four chromosomes. Triploids on the other hand have three chromosomes which make it infertile.
The gamete would contain half the number of chromosomes as the tetraploid parent cell.
If both parents were diploid, then it would be tetraploid (4X).

Polyploidy Polyploidy is having any number of extra sets of chromosomes. For a diploid organism, having two diploid sets would make it a tetraploid. For a haploid, having two haploid sets would make it diploid. For a tetraploid, having two tetraploid sets would make it octaploid.
Aegilops tauschii contributed two chromosomes, and T. turgidum contributed four chromosomes.Diploid = 2n. Tetraploid = 4n. Hexaploid = 6n.Therefore, following meiosis you get 1n + 2n = 3n.3n gamete ---> 6n somatic cell.
One method involves soaking the buds or seeds in a chemical called colchicine, this induces genetic mutations in the DNA of the cells.
