Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than one pair of homologous chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei eukaryotes are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes, where each set contains one or more chromosomes and comes from each of two parents, resulting in pairs of homologous chromosomes between sets. |
