Diploid plants have two sets of chromosomes. Polyploid plants have more than two sets of chromosomes, are often larger, and have more desirable characteristics. To create polyploid plants, plant breeders can treat diploid plants with a chemical that prevents the separation of sister chromatids during mitosis. Resulting cells that have any partial chromosome sets, even if in addition to one or more complete chromosome sets, typically do not survive this process. If a diploid plant cell treated with such a chemical goes through a single round of mitosis, what is the MOST LIKELY genetic composition of the resulting cells that survive?

A
These cells will be haploid, each having one complete set of chromosomes.

B
These cells will be triploid, each having three complete sets of chromosomes.

C
These cells will be tetraploid, each having four complete sets of chromosomes.

D
These cells will be octaploid, each having eight complete sets of chromosomes.

Juan and carol were studying invertebrates in biology. they knew that segmented or earth worms preferred a dark, moist habitat. during this lab, they would be investigating the responses of organisms called planaria or dugesia tigrina. these were simple flatworms that still had a one-way digestive system and a very simple nervous system. juan and carol placed the planaria in a petri dish containing cool, distilled water that was partially covered with black paper. they shined a light on the dish. next, they removed the paper and placed a small amount of chicken liver at one end of the dish. they added a few large salt crystals to the water. finally, they added drops of hot water to the cool water in the petri dish. their results can be seen in the data table. according to their experiment, all but one conclusion is valid.
