Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Triploids are normally Sterile.Triploids have 3 sets of chromosomes instead of 2 and for this reason, are not able to reproduce.
Triploids are characterized by the problems of chromosomal pairing and segregation during meiosis, which may cause aneuploid gametes and result in sterility. Thus, they are generally considered to reproduce only asexually.
