If a diploid cell is treated with colchicine then it becomes
-
- triploid
- tetraploid
- diploid
- monoploid
Correct Option: B
Colchicine inhibits spindle formation, due to which chromatids are unable to separate during anaphase which results in doubling of chromosomes. So, if a diploid cell is treated with colchicine, there is doubling of chromosomes and it becomes tetraploid,. Its an alkaloid obtained from Colchicum autumnale.
