A cell at telophase stage is observed by a student. There is no formation of cell plate and thus the cell contains more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:

  1. A
    Polyploidy
  2. B
    Somaclonal variation
  3. C
    Polyteny
  4. D
    Aneuploidy

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Failure of cytokinesis (no cell plate formation in plants) after telophase stage of cell division results in an increase in a whole set of chromosomes in an organism and this phenomenon is known as polyploidy.
