Question

BIOL321 Unit 3 Problem Set 29. Which of the following is not an accurate description of why odd numbered ploidys are uncommon? i. very unlikely for every chromosome in the set to segregate with the same number of chromosomes ii.gametes that are diploid for every chromosome are more likely to be fertilized by gametes that are haploid ili.typically leads to aneuploidy iv.odd numbers of chromosomes do not have homolog pairs for every copy which results in the lone chromosome being randomly inherited 31. Why can organisms tolerate polyploidy but not most cases of aneuploidy?

Explanation / Answer

29. (ii)

31.In Plyploidy, the cell of organism has an extra set of chromosome therefore, the organism will survive but have some abnormalities but In Aneuploidy there is one or more extra chromosome which made it impossible to segregate further or divide further..So we can say organism can tolerate polyploidy but not most cases of aneuploidy
