Plants are wierd. “Polyploid organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes. For example, humans have two sets of homologous chromosomes, meaning that a typical human will have 2 copies each of 23 different chromosomes, for a total of 46. Wheat on the other hand, while having only 7 distinct chromosomes, is considered a hexaploid and has 6 copies of each chromosome, for a total of 42.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_genetics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_genetics
