Why is autopolyploidy termed intraspecific polyploidy and allopolyploidy as interspecific polyploidy Comment.

Explanation

Autopolyploidy arises by increases in the number of chromosomes sets of the same species. It is, thus, an intraspecific polyploidy.
Allopolyploidy on the other hand, developed in a hybrid between two species by doubling of chromosomes sets AB to AABB. it is thus, an interspecific polypliody.
