Polyploidy: Polyploidy,, the condition in which a normally diploid cell or organism acquires one or more additional sets of chromosomes. In other words, the polyploid cell or organism has three or more times the haploid chromosome number. Polyploidy arises as the result of total nondisjunction of chromosomes during mitosis or meiosis. Polyploidy is common among plants and has been, in fact, a major source of speciation in the angiosperms.
Polyploidy. Polyploidy is a condition in which an individual has sets of chromosomes greater than the normal diploid number. There are number of key factors to help you remember: 1  The number of chromosomes making up one set is the haploid number = n. 2  The number of chromosomes making up two sets is the diploid number = 2n.
