Many daylily, dahlia, and gladiola varieties are polyploid, which means that they have more than one set of ____
A
zygotes
B
chromosomes
C
nuclei
D
scions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A haploid cell (n) has 23 chromosomes (typically in the ovum or sperm). If a cell’s chromosomes are an exact multiple of 23 (46, 69, 92 in humans), those cells are referred to aseuploid. Polyploid cells are euploid cells with more than the normaldiploid number of 46 (2n) chromosomes: 3n, 4n.

Detailed explanation-2: -Allopolyploid is a polyploid individual which composed of a chromosome set composed of two (or more) chromosome set. It formed from the hybridization of two (or more) separate but closely related species.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Allopolyploid’.
