👉 In biology, a tetragynous organism is an organism that has four sets of chromosomes. This means that each set of chromosomes contains two copies of one particular gene. These genes are called autosomes, and they control certain traits such as growth, development, and reproduction. Tetragynous organisms typically have the ability to reproduce sexually, which allows them to pass on their genetic material from generation to generation. This is different from other types of organisms that have only two sets of chromosomes
