    Tetrasomics have a particular chromosome represented in four doses instead of the normal two doses. There are as many possible types of tetrasomics as there are different chromosomes in the organism's haploid set. All 21 possible tetrasomics exist in wheat. Tetrasomics may originate from self-pollination of plants that have an extra chromosome in three doses instead of the normal two. During meiosis in a tetrasomic, the four copies of the tetrasomic chromosome tend to pair up as a single structure called a quadrivalent.

    Tetrasomy: Tetrasomics have a particular chromosome represented in

    four doses (2n+2). The types of possible tetrasomics is equal to the


    haploid chromosome number of an organism. All 21 possible
    tetrasomics are available in wheat. Origin of Tetrasomy: Tetrasomics
    may be originated by selfing of trisomies. Meiotic Behaviour: During
    meiosis, the four homologues of the tetrasomic set tend to form a
    quadrivalent.
