If a chromosome number of a plant species is 16 what would be the chromosome number and ploidy of the (a) microspore mother cell and the (b) endosperm cells ? |
|
Answer» (a) Microspore mother cell →16, which is a diploid (2n) number. (b) Endosperm → 24 -- Because it is a triploid (3n) structure, formed as a result of triple fusion i.e, the fusion of one male gamete with two haploids (n) polar nuclei or with a diploid secondary nucleus. |
