Dr. ara b. dopsis has an idea he thinks will be a boon to agriculture. he wants to create the "pomato," a hybrid between a tomato (lycopersicon esculentum) that has 12 chromosomes and a potato (solanum tuberosum) that has 48 chromosomes. dr. dopsis is hoping that his new pomato will have tuber growth like a potato and the fruit production of a tomato. he joins a haploid gamete from each species to form a hybrid and then induces doubling of chromosome number.

can dr. dopsis be sure the polyploid will have the characteristics he wants?
can dr. dopsis be sure the polyploid will have the characteristics he wants?
