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.

hexaploidy

Accepted Answer

Welcome back, everyone. Here's our next question. Hex ploidy is a condition where an organism has six sets of chromosomes. Which of the following is an example of a hex aid organism. Choice A oats, B, fungi, C banana or D sugar king and having multiple sets of chromosomes is something that's some somewhat common in plants, especially domesticated plants. Sometimes that was part of the selective breeding process to create bigger fruits or fruits with fruits or vegetables with more desirable characteristics. So just a little note of that, we're looking for a hexapod organism with six sets of chromosomes and that is choice. A oats. Yeah, this is a really straightforward one, but we can just look at our other answer choices to understand why they're not correct. Choice. B is fungi and fungi or haploid. So definitely not hexapod. And again, it would be much more common to expect a plant to be having these, this many sets of chromosomes. Choice C, banana, bananas are triploid. So three sets have chromosomes and then finally to the sugar cane and sugar cane can be either oct delo. So eight sets or deploy 10 sets of chromosomes just depending on what species of sugar cane it is, but they are not hex alo. So not our correct answer. So again, the example of a hexapod organism choice a oats, um wheat is also hexapod. So if you remember that oats and wheat being somewhat similar kind of plants that might help you on a question like this. See you in the next video.
