Question

If the haploid number for a plant species is 4, how many chromosomes are found in a member of the species that has one of the following characteristics? Explain your reasoning in each case.

triploidy

Accepted Answer

Hi, everyone. Let's look at our next problem. It says in animals, triple frequently leads to a gigantism b, early embryonic death. C increased risk of genetic diseases or d general loss of immune functions. Well, let's recall, triploidy would mean having three sets of chromosomes. Our question tells us that we're talking about animals who are supposed to have two sets, their mam animals are deployed. So having a third set of chromosomes or even a third of a single chromosome generally causes very drastic effects. It can cause severe errors in development. Um major cardiac or skeletal malfunctions and just quite often uh leads to embryos having so many of these effects that they can't even survive till birth. So choice b, early embryonic death is a frequent cause or a frequent, excuse me, a frequent result of triploid uh gigantism, increased risk of genetic diseases, general loss of immune functions. Would it be something that is frequently caused by triple ad? It usually has that drastic effect that the embryo can't even survive to birth. So choice b, early embryonic death is our answer. See you in the next video.
