An average plant has 2 sets of chromosomes.
To enhance certain qualities in some species, scientist have bred tetraploids (four sets of chromosomes).
The flowers on tetraploids are generally bigger than those on other varieties of the same species, but there are fewer of them and the plant generally grows slower than the types with 2 sets of chromosomes.
