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.

Select the definition of polyploidy: a chromosomal complement with at least three complete sets of homologous chromosomes the number of chromosome sets that make up a complete genome a complete chromosome set or an exact multiple of the haploid chromosome set the addition or loss of less than a full set of chromosomes or chromosome pairs
Adi S.
The gain of one chromosome to a diploid genome results in, and the addition of a complete two sets of chromosomes to a diploid genome results in the formation of a(n) a. allopolyploidy/tetraploid b. polyploidy/haploid c. triploidy/autopolyploid d. aneuploidy/tetraploid e. aneuploidy/triploid
