Answer and explanation:
Chromosomal multiplicity, also known as polyploidy, is the name given to the cell or organism that has a numerical change in its whole set of chromosomes (for example, a triploid organism of a diploid species is a polyploid because it has an extra set of chromosomes than the rest of its species). Most species are diploids, but polyploidy is quite common in plants.
In agriculture, polyploidy can be beneficial by giving the plants better chances of survival and/or providing more desirable traits. Crop species such as bread wheat and triticale (a wheat and rye hybrid), for example, have 6 sets of chromosomes. Quinoa, coconut, and peanut are tetraploids (4 sets of chromosomes). Many of these cases of polyploidy in plants of importance for the agriculture field are a result of hybridization (which occurs when two different species are crossed in order to produce offspring with a combination of characteristics of the two-parent species).
