Solution
The condition in which there are more than two complete sets of chromosomes is called polyploidy.
Explanation:
The condition in which there are more than two complete sets of chromosomes is called polyploidy. Polyploidy refers to organisms having three or more sets of chromosomes, which is beyond the usual diploid (two sets) condition. Aneuploidy, by contrast, involves changes in the number of one or a few chromosomes, but not a complete extra set.
