Polyploidy is the condition where the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell is increased. This results in an increase in the amount of genetic material for all chromosomes. Aneuploidy, on the other hand, is the condition where there is an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, either too many or too few. Translocation and inversion involve the rearrangement of genetic material within chromosomes, while transversion is a type of point mutation.
