An octoploid has 8 haploid sets of chromosomes in each of its cells. An example of an octoploid is the strawberry species Fragaria ananassa (itself a hybrid of two other strawberry species, F. virginiana and F. chiloensis.)
Octoploid is a term that refers to the number of chromosomes in the strawberry. Humans are diploid meaning they have two pairs of chromosomes, one pair from each parent, but strawberries have four pairs from each parent plant.
No, human cells are typically diploid, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes. Octoploid organisms, such as certain plants, have eight sets of chromosomes in each cell.
Synthetic octoploids are used in strawberry breeding
A strawberry is made up of plant cells, specifically specialized cells that make up the fruit structure. These cells contain typical plant organelles such as a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole.

The ploidy of the gametes produced by a tetraploid individual with nondisjunction of all chromosomes during meiosis would be diploid. This is because, in nondisjunction, the chromosomes do not separate properly, leading to the formation of gametes with double the normal chromosome number.
