Results from our forumdisadvantage of having multiple chromosomes... disadvantage: Would a disadvantage be that if a polyploid mates with a normal diploid, the F1 hybrid is triploid; this causes massive amounts of aneuploidy in the offspring, leading to almost invariable sterility of hybrid offspring?? I was told these are not good answers???? Thats when I came ...

Re: Genetic Questions - please help!... pool. if the organism dies,the mutation will not be passed down. (Q5) Humans with aneuploid karyotypes occur but are non-viable. Why is this?? aneuploidy refers to certain chromosomes are represented in an usual number of chromosomes rather than 2. a question to pro, down's sydrome is the usual ...
