Polyploidy occurs when duplicated chromosomes do not separate during meiosis and an entire set of chromosomes migrate to the resulting daughter cells. The process of producing polyploid offspring is modeled above. What outcome might this have on animals AND on plants? A) This process would produce genetic diversity in both animals and plants. B) This process would produce non-viable offspring for both plants and animals. C) This process results in the formation of new species in animals but not in plants. D) This process would produce non-viable embryos in animals but may increase genetic diversity in plants.
