One such mechanism is polyploidy, where organisms carry extra copies of their genomes. While polyploidy provides genetic redundancy by allowing mutations without affecting survival, it can also ...

Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains ...

Polyploidy is the presence of more than two homologous sets of chromosomes in a cell or organism. It occurs as a result of genome duplication due to nondisjunction during meiosis. In the ...
