Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An organism with three complete sets of chromosomes is said to be triploid. A diploid organism has two sets of complete chromosomes, while aneuploid refers to an organism with an abnormal number of chromosomes (not necessarily a complete set). Trisomic specifically refers to an organism with an extra copy of a single chromosome. Triassic refers to a time period in geological history and is not related to the number of chromosomes in an organism.
