Which of the following is Autotriploid?
A. Cynodon dactylon
B. Secale cerele
C. Pisum sativum
D. Raphanus
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Cynodon dactylon is Autotriploid.An autotriploid would have three copies of the basic chromosomal set. One way to produce an autotriploid is by mating a diploid with a haploid (n) gamete and a tetraploid with a 2n gamete. The offspring would have unbalanced gametes and therefore possibly be sterile.
Autotriploids have three chromosome sets derived from a single taxon, and cyanadon has the same.
