  • B
    One chromosome less than the haploid set of chromosomes
  • C
    One chromosome more than the haploid set of chromosomes
  • D
    One chromosome more than the diploid set of chromosomes

Answer

Correct option: A.
Exact multiples of a haploid set of chromosomes
a
(a) The term euploidy $(eu = good + ploid = multiple)$ is applied to organisms with chromosome numbers that are multiples of some basic number. eg. $x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x,$ etc.
