While most animals cannot tolerate polyploidy, somemollusks, such as oysters, can. Although wild oystersare diploid, farmed oysters are often made triploid.The advantage of triploidy is that the oysters are sterile, so they expend the energy that would otherwise beused to make unappetizing gametes in the productionof delicious muscle. These meaty triploid oysters aremore valuable commercially than diploids.a. To make triploid oysters, researchers used cytochalasin B, a chemical that can inhibit cell division ineither meiosis I or meiosis II during oogenesis.This drug does not interfere with chromosomereplication. Explain how triploid oysters could begenerated using cytochalasin B.b. Cytochalasin B is toxic to humans, so oyster farmerscannot use this drug. Can you think of an alternatemethod that might enable oyster farmers to producelarge numbers of triploid oysters?

Fungi

Fungi can be single-celled or complex multicellular creatures. They are found in pretty much any natural surroundings; however, they generally live on the land, principally in soil or plant material instead of in the ocean or water. Fungi are the members of the group called the decomposers that live off dead and decaying matters. Fungi assume a significant part in the carbon cycle and its different components. They act as a parasite by causing illnesses like rusts, scabs, or ulcers. In crops, contagious illnesses can prompt critical money-related misfortune for the rancher. An exceptionally modest number of growths cause illnesses in creatures. In people, these incorporate skin illnesses such as competitors' feet, ringworm, and thrush.
