A cell at telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at telophase stage. There is no formation of cell plate and thus the cell is containing more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in
Aneuploidy.
Polyploidy.
Somaclonal variation.
Polyteny.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the implications of a cell at the telophase stage not forming a cell plate and having more chromosomes than usual.Telophase is the final stage of cell division where the cell prepares to divide into two daughter cells. In plant cells, this involves the formation of a cell plate.If a cell does not form a cell plate, it means cytokinesis is incomplete, leading to a single cell with multiple sets of chromosomes.This condition results in polyploidy, where the cell has more than two complete sets of chromosomes.Polyploidy is common in plants and can lead to increased size and vigor.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: Polyploidy.
