We might think of living organisms as typically having two sets of chromosomes---one from mom and one from dad. But there are lots of variations out there. Polyploidy, or having more than two ...
Assistant Professor of Biology Vicki Losick admits she harbors a desire to change the world a little bit. “I want to make ‘polyploidy’ a household word,” Losick said in her Higgins Hall office, next ...
Researchers emphasize that polyploidy and the important role it has played, especially in plant evolution, would not have gained the recognition it deserves would it not have been for its staunch ...

The purpose of this special issue is to increase awareness of the potential role of polyploidy and hybridisation in adaptation and invasiveness by highlighting examples of classic case studies, ...
Polyploidy is a state where a cell contains more copies of the genetic material than the usual "diploid" cell, which contains two copies. Polyploidy often occurs in human diseases and cancers, and its ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The role of polyploidy in gymnosperms has been evaluated. Polyploidy is found in the progeny of diploid species, in stray trees of otherwise ...
The predominance of sexual reproduction despite its costs indicates that sex provides substantial benefits, which are usually thought to derive from the direct genetic consequences of recombination ...
A study has shown that different plant species tackle the same evolutionary hurdle in different ways, and the findings may give insight into aggressive forms of cancer. Whole genome duplication (WGD) ...
