What is the chromosome count in a tetraploid organism?

A tetraploid organism has four complete sets of chromosomes. In a diploid organism, which is the typical state for most humans and animals, there are two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent). For instance, humans have 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs, which represents the diploid state.

When we refer to a tetraploid condition, it means that the chromosome count has doubled to four sets. Therefore, if we know that a diploid organism has 46 chromosomes, a tetraploid version of that organism would have 4 times 23 chromosomes, leading to a total of 92 chromosomes. This is the reasoning behind why a tetraploid organism would be characterized by this chromosome count.
