Polyploidy may arise as a result of endomitosisâchromosomal replication within a cell nucleus that does not divide. If the chromosomes do not separate during mitosis, polyploid somatic cells are formed; if they do not separate during meiosis, polyploid germ cells are formed with a modified, most often diploid, number of chromosomes.
The Albany Congress by Stefan Bielinski. The Albany Congress met in Albany from June 19 to July 11, 1754. Holding daily meetings at the City Hall, official delegates from seven colonies considered strategies for Indian diplomacy and put forth the so-called Albany Plan of Union.
Albany Plan of Union, 1754. 1  The Albany Plan of Union was a plan to place the British North American colonies under a more centralized government. 2  Representatives of the colonial governments adopted the Albany Plan during a larger meeting known as the Albany Congress. The British Government in London had ordered the colonial governments to meet in 1754, initially because of a breakdown in negotiations between the colony of New York and the Mohawk nation, which was part of the Iroquois Confederation.
