Polyploidy

A condition where an organism has extra sets of chromosomes
Real World Example
Imagine trying to juggle multiple schedules for work, family, and hobbies, each with its own demands. This scenario is similar to polyploidy, where an organism has extra sets of chromosomes, each set like a separate schedule dictating different genetic instructions. Just as balancing multiple schedules requires more coordination and resources, having extra chromosome sets means the organism must manage more genetic information, affecting its traits and development.
