Correct Answer: number of chromosomes


Solution : The correct option is number of chromosomes.

Polyploidy is a phenomenon in which an organism's cells have more than two full sets of chromosomes. This can occur as a result of cell division issues, such as non-disjunction during meiosis, which results in an additional pair of chromosomes. Polyploidy can result in high genetic variety, which has implications for evolution and plant breeding.
