Question

A cross between a tetraploid and a diploid member of the same species will produce offspring that can undergo sexual reproduction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - a false statement.

Explanation:

Tetraploid organism or the cell that has four sets of chromosome in their cell whereas diploid organism that contains two sets of chromosome in their cell. The fertile diploid and fertile tetraploid organism produce triploid organisms that are sterile in nature.

This cross would result in the triploid and the gametes will have uneven chromosome numbers in it that will not let the sexual reproduction possibly occur.

Thus, the correct answer is - a false statement.
