∙ 13y agoPolyploidy is when the organism possesses more than two complete chromosome sets. It could either be an accident where a zygote may replicate its chromosomes and fail to divide or it could be completely normal. We don't normally see polyploidy in mammals (maybe in two closely related species of rodents) but it's a bit more frequent in fish and amphibians and really common in plants.

What is multiploid?
Multiploid refers to having multiple copies of a chromosome. Polyploid, on the other hand, refers to having more than the normal number of sets of chromosomes.
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
