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.
What are some characteristics of polyploidy plants? Select one: a. They tend to be bigger and stronger than diploid plants. b. They tend to be weaker and smaller than diploid plants.owever not all polyploid have larger seed sets. Some polyploids like the giant forest bamboos have greater vegetative growth rather than greater reproductive yield of seeds. They are larger and have very strong woody stems.
