Triploidy refers to a condition where an individual has 1.5 times the normal number of chromosomes. Egg and sperm cells are haploid (have n number of chromosomes). Normal cells are diploid (have 2n number of chromosomes). The exact cause of triploidy in humans is not known. It may be caused when more than one sperm fertilize a single egg. Triploidy may be preferred and cultivated in plants in order to increase productivity.

What does dispermy result in?
Two YY chromosomes. Which can be triploidy. Don't quote me on this lol
Explain the difference between trisomy and triploidy describe a way that each condition could occur?
Polyploidy is the condition of some biological cells and organisms.
How can nondisjunction in meiosis result in a diploid gamete?
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
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 karyotpe able to identify?
Karyotypes are able to tell if there are any chromosome conditions present. These condition include Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and Triploidy.
Is a hibiscus plant a seedless plant..why?
Althouh hibiscus is a flowering plant, it rarely forms seed due genetic dis-order. Triploidy provides good number of attractive flowers but viable gametes are lacking due to lack of pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

The color in a tortoiseshell cat can only be produced by two x chromosomes. this would mean that these types of cats are always?
Either female, or triploid. A normal diploid mammal will have two X chromosomes if it is female, or an X and a Y if it is male. The genetic variant known as triploidy can result in animals with two X and one Y chromosome, which express male characteristics, or both male and female characteristics.

Classify the human sex genotype XXX as an example of trisomy or monosomy?
It is trisomy of sex chromosomes. Normally, a human girl would be XX genotypically, but she inherits an extra X from either her mother or her father (due to nondisjunction in either one parent's gametes in meosis) so she has one extra chromosome, or a triploidy A normal human is diploid, so they would have XX A triploid is one extra X So it is XXX
