Well, you captured it fairly well, because I can see the "glow." Can only imagine what in-person would look like... ya gotta wear shades?

Most organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one donated from each parent. This is commonly referred to as a diploid (2N) individual. You and I are diploid.
Plants have the ability to survive when their chromosome counts are increased. Any plant with an increased chromosomal count is called polyploid (e.g. 3N, 4N, 5N, etc.). Doubling the number of chromosomes would yield a plant that is called 4N. Polyploid plants often have larger flowers and plants, which is desirable. Some polyploids grow more slowly and have a tough time breeding, which is less desirable, so there are tradeoffs. |
