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.

Organisms with three or more sets of chromosomes are called?

Organisms with three or more sets of chromosomes are called polyploids. Polyploidy can occur naturally or be induced in plants and some animals. It can lead to changes in gene expression and potentially new traits.


Any species with a multiple set of chromosomes is?

Polyploid. This means they have more than two sets of chromosomes, which can result in increased genetic diversity and variations in traits among individuals. Examples of polyploid species include strawberries and wheat.

How many chromosomes are in a polyploid?

A polyploid organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes in a polyploid can vary widely depending on the species and type of polyploidy; for example, a triploid has three sets (3n), a tetraploid has four sets (4n), and so on. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes in a polyploid is a multiple of the basic chromosome set of that species.
