it is called tetrapolidy in plants
Triploid indicates there are three sets of chromosomes within the nucleus. A plant with four sets of chromosomes is said to have a tetraploid nucleus.
It means that each of the four chromosomes that come from the male parent has a corresponding chromosomes from the female parent. ~lisa 9th grade~ :]
A polyploid organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes in a polyploid can vary widely depending on the species and type of polyploidy; for example, a triploid has three sets (3n), a tetraploid has four sets (4n), and so on. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes in a polyploid is a multiple of the basic chromosome set of that species.
Polyploids have more than two sets of chromosomes in their cells, which results from the duplication of the entire set of chromosomes. Examples include triploids (3 sets), tetraploids (4 sets), and hexaploids (6 sets).
During mitosis, chromosomes pair up by replicating and aligning themselves in the center of the cell before separating into two identical sets. In meiosis, chromosomes pair up in homologous pairs, exchange genetic material, and then separate into four non-identical sets of chromosomes.
The four chromosomes in a parent cell are arranged in two sets of pairs - one set from the mother and one set from the father. Each pair of chromosomes consists of one chromosome from each parent.
A tetraploid potato cell would contain four sets of chromosomes, so a gametic cell would contain half that amount, which is two sets (diploid). This means a tetraploid potato gametic cell would contain 48 chromosomes.
there are 23 sets
the prefix di- means 2. so a diploid is two sets of chromosomes.
Cells go by the number of sets that are in the body. Like haploid has one set, diploid has 2 sets, triploid has three sets, tetraploid has four sets, pentaploid has five sets and polyploidy is for three or more sets of chromosomes.
