A cell at the telophase stage is observed by a student in a brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at the telophase stage. There is no formation of a cell plate and thus the cell is containing more chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:

1. polyploidy

2. somaclonal variation

3. polyteny

4. aneuploidy
