Refers to organisms that possess three sets of chromosomes, instead of the normal two sets of chromosomes. Conversion of a diploid (i.e., two sets of chromosomes) organism to triploid can be done by man (e.g., certain fish, “seedless,” grapes, etc.). For example, fish are ordinarily diploid. By exposing fish eggs to certain specific combinations of temperature and pressure, immediately after fertilization of those eggs, scientists can cause the resultant fish to become triploid. Triploid fish are unable to reproduce. This sterility is desired by man, in order to prevent certain fish (e.g., those that have been genetically engineered) from mating with wild fish.<\/p>\n

Such induced (triploid) sterility also prevents the (genetically engineered) fish from wasting energy on the act of reproduction, so they grow faster and larger. That transfer (of energy use from reproduction to growth) also holds true for “seedless” grapes, watermelons, etc.<\/p>\n
