Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Polyploidy can result in the rapid formation of new species within a few generations. Polyploidy occurs when an organism has more than two sets of chromosomes, often due to errors in cell division. This can create reproductive isolation between the polyploid organism and its parent population, as the two may no longer be able to produce viable offspring.
