Polyploidy is common among fish and amphibian species and very common among plant species.
Is it true that Polyploidy is common among fish and amphibian species and very common among plant species?
Yes. Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication, is well-documented and common among various fish and amphibian groups, and it is exceptionally widespread and frequent across plant species.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers provide robust support for the claim that whole-genome duplication (polyploidy) is prevalent in plants (where it occurs at a notably higher frequency) and also significant among fish (teleosts) and amphibians.
