Mention the ploidy of the following: protonemal cell of a moss; primary endosperm nucleus in dicot, leaf cell of a moss; prothallus cell of a fern; gemma cell in Marchantia; meristem cell of monocot, ovum of a liverwort, and zygote of a fern.

Answer»
  • protonemal cells of a moss → haploid, developed from spores 
  • primary endosperm nucleus of dicot → diploid, formed after fertilization
  • leaf cell of a moss → haploid, develops from protonemal cells 
  • prothallus cell of a ferm → haploid, bears male and female sex organs gametophyte
  • gemma cells in Marchantia → diploid, asexual reproduction cells
  • meristem cell of monocot → diploid, somatic cell
  • ovum of a liverwort → hiploid, female egg
  • Zygote of a fern → diploid formed after fertilization.
