If a diploid cell is treated with colchicine then it becomes:
triploid
tetraploid
diploid
monoploid
Solution
Colchicine has the property of arresting and breaking the spindle so that a cell division without cell wall formation may be affected leading to doubling of chromosome number. So, a diploid cell will become tetraploid by chromosome doubling.
