Chapter 20.3, Problem 2C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which hybridization and polyploidy cause a new plant species to form in as little as one generation.
Introduction: The study of the evolution of an organism is termed as phylogeny. The process of mating of two organisms from different species or subspecies is termed as hybridization, and the new species produced by this process is called as hybrid.
On the other hand, polyploidy is the process of possessing more than two sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy and hybridization are important factors in the evolution of an organism.

Scientists believe that the yellow fern arose from hybridization with another fern
on the island. Create a diagram of this hybridization that tracks the origin of the
chromosome number in the yellow fern.
