What would be the number of chromosomes in the cells of the aleuron layer in a plant species with 8 chromosomes in its synergids?A. 24B. 32C. 8D. 16

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Synergids are two, short-lived, haploid cells lying close to the egg in mature embryo sac of flowering plant ovule. While the endosperm is a triploid tissue formed after triple fusion. Thus, if the synergids have 8 chromosomes, the aleurone layer (part of endosperm) will have just triple of that of chromosomes in the synergids, i.e. 24 chromosomes.
