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.
It is a form of Autopolyploidy which is a form of Polyploidy, this can happen when two sperm may simultaneously fertilize an ovum, producing a triploid zygote. another way is if nondisjunction occurs within I or II meiosis to produce a diploid gamete and then that gamete is fertilized by a haploid gamete.
