If a diploid cell is treated with colchicine then it becomes

- Triploid
- Tetraploid
- Diploid
- Monoploid

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (A) : Triploid
Colchicine prevents the development of microtubules necessary for the growth of spindle fibers. To split the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells evenly, spindle fibers are required. The genetic material won't be disseminated to the two freshly growing cells if microtubules aren't produced. As a result, the metaphase stage will see a decrease in the production of new cells, and the diploid cell will divide into tetraploid cells with four chromosomes instead of two.

Cell Cycle
The sequence of growth and division of a cell, and consists of a series of biological processes, particularly the resting phase (G0), the interphase (G1, S, G2), and cell division (i.e. mitosis and cytokinesis)
