Which one of the following statements about polyploidy is correct?
Updated On: Jan 9, 2025
- Autopolyploids are derived from a single species
- Autopolyploids are derived from two different species
- Allopolyploids are derived from a single species
- Allopolyploids are not fertile when mated with each other
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Polyploidy involves an organism having multiple sets of chromosomes.
- Autopolyploids originate from chromosome duplication within a single species.
- Allopolyploids arise from hybridization between two species
