Here is a strawberry karyotype - ignore the different colours. How many chromosomes are shown in the figure? What is the ploidy of this type of strawberry? How many alleles could an individual strawberry have at each locus? Finally during the G2 stage of cell division, how many double helixes would be in this picture if you drew them over the chromosomes? Many domesticated plants are polyploid - give one possible reason why this might be the case, with a focus on using genetic principles to reason it out (i.e., you don't have to be right per se, you have to build an argument based on what you've already learned).
