Solution
Triticale is an allopolyploid.
Explanation:
Triticale is formed by hybridisation between wheat and rye, which have different genomes, followed by chromosome doubling; therefore, it is an allopolyploid. It is not an autopolyploid, which has extra copies of the same genome, nor is the final Triticale described as an allotriploid.
