Document Summary
Example: humans adults are 2n = 2x = 46: many plants are polyploids. Hexaploids are viable because mitosis will produce daughter cells with six of each chromosome. Hexaploids are fertile because meiosis will produce gametes with three of each chromosome: bananas. Plantains (triploid, 3x = 33) abb m t h a n a n a b. _ o f n i m o c s e b a l l t i u r f a l i m d u l p t t h. Triploids are viable because mitosis will produce daughter cells with three of each chromosome. Triploids are sterile because meiosis will produce gametes with one or two of each chromosome: berries. Cultivated - tetraploid, hexaploid, or octoploid: polyploidy in humans. 2 e u q i t s y m s d u o c s o o h p m o c r k c l t i l f w w w.
