It is a fact that autotriploids have a hard time establishing themselves in nature when they arise.
a) Why would this be the case? b) If autotriploids are in fact highly sterile, how is it possible to
maintain varieties like the Keizerskroon tulip and the Baldwin apple, which are known to be
autotriploids? c) Describe how autotriploidy could arise in each of the following cases: cross-
fertilization, self-fertilization, asexual reproduction. d) In humans, approximately 1% of ALL
zygotes produced are autotriploids or autotetraploids, but such ploidy is inviablc (Kajii, T., and
N. Niikawa, Cytog. Cell Genet. 18: 109, 1977; Pettenati, M. J., et al., Am. J. Hum. Genet. 24: 23,
1986). How might autotriploidy arise in such a zygote?
Solution
a) Autotriploids have a hard time establishing themselves in nature when they arise as they are
highly sterile. This is due to disturbed alignment of homologous chromosomes in prophase I
followed by altered segregation in anaphase I which in turn leads to uneven distribution of
gametes.
b) The autotriploid varieties like Keizerskroon tulip and Baldwin apple are maintained by
vegetative propagation (clonal propagation) rather than sexual reproduction.
c) CROSS FERTILIZATION: Autotriploidy arises by fusion of diploid and haploid gametes
during sexual reproduction. The diploid gamete can come from autotetraploid or nondisjunction
of chromosomes during anaphase in gametogenesis in a diploid parent.
SELF FERTILIZATION: Non disjunction of chromosomes during megasporogenesis produces
diploid gametes which then fuses with haploid gamete on self fertilization and give rise to
autotriploid.
ASXUAL REPRODUCTION: Consecutive DNA replication during S phase followed by arrest
of cell division leads to formation of autotriploids during asexual reproduction.
d) Fusion of diploid egg with haploid sperms forms autotriploid zygotes in human.
