If a diploid cell is treated with colchicine then it becomes : -
  1. A
    Tetraploid
  2. B
    Monoploid
  3. C

Correct answer: A

Colchicine inhibits spindle formation, due to which chromatids are unable to separate during anaphase which results in doubling of chromosomes. So, if a diploid cell is treated with colchicine, there is doubling of chromosomes and it becomes tetraploid,. Its an alkaloid obtained from Colchicum autumnale.
