Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Octaploid

👉 Octaploidic is a term used in biology and genetics to describe organisms that have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. In other words, an organism has two copies of its sex chromosomes (XY or XX) in both sets. This means that the organism can produce only two copies of its gametes, which are usually diploid, but sometimes haploid. The term was coined by scientists to describe organisms that have a complex genome with multiple copies of each chromosome. It's often

octaploidic

👉 Octaploidy, also known as tetraploidy, is a genetic condition in which an organism has two sets of chromosomes. This means that each chromosome contains three copies of itself, rather than four, as is typical for normal human or animal cells. In octaploidy, there are two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. There are several theories about the cause of this condition, but the most common explanation is that it may be caused by a genetic mutation in the cell

This type of organism has two copies of every chromosome, but there are no extra copies or deletions due to crossing over. Octaploids are found in many organisms, including plants and animals.
