Errors in meiosis can be one mechanism of evolution. A change in the number of chromosomes can lead to the production of new species. Some plant species may have originated from errors during cell division, which led to them having more than two sets of

chromosomes, a condition called polyploidy. Hypothesize what kind of error during meiosis might occur to cause a normally diploid plant to generate tetraploid offspring, in which the offspring have four sets of chromosomes. What will be an ideal response?
