b. Each chromosome in a polyploid organism has an identical copy of the organism's genetic information

c. Each chromosome in a polyploid organism has distinct genetic information.

d. A mutation that occurs in one chromosome may be phenotypically "rescued by wild type alleles on other chromosomes.

Answer 1

Option-(C,A):Archaea must undergo meiosis prior to cell division, and Each chromosome in a polyploid organism has distinct genetic information.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Archaea are polyploid:

Archea are prehistoric organisms who can be also termed as the prokaryotic living cells, as they developed from a less developed form to a more complex shape or system. As the feature of being a polyploid makes it easy for any archea to survive in the most severe conditions. As the polyploids contain a number of genetic materials in pair, as each pair is very distinctive in features or more independent in regulating a function then the other. Giving it a more diversity of genetic sequence its genome.

Along, with that the process of meiosis occurs prior to the process or event of cell division. Which is for production of the copies of the parent cell, which posses the same genetic material as that of the parent cells.
