Polyploidy plants tend to be larger and more robust than euploids of the same species. all of these is rare in mammals. causes triploid animals to be sterile. occurs when there are more than two full sets of chromosomes in the body cells of an organism. is very common in the plant kingdom.

Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei (eukaryotes) are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one set inherited from each parent. Explain why polyploidy is more common in plants and not animals.

Which of the following is true of polyploidy? It occurs in 30-35% of flowering plants. It occurs in specialized cell types in many organisms. human gametes are polyploid. It occurs when an individual has 2 or more copies of every chromosome. polyploid individuals are less robust than their diploid counterparts.
