Question

92. M/J 14/P12/Q19
Diploid (2n) organisms that reproduce sexually produce haploid (n) gametes.
Some plants, such as wheat, can produce diploid or haploid gametes. These gametes can
fertilise other diploid or haploid gametes.
Which statements are correct for plants like these?
1 Diploid gametes may be produced by a fault in the reduction division (meiosis).X
2 The offspring will always show an increased chromosome number.
3 The offspring could be either 2n, 3n or 4n.
4 The chromosome number could, in theory, increase with each generation.
А 1, 2 and 3
B 1, 2 and 4
C 1, 3 and 4
D 2, 3 and 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. 4n

4. B - 1,2 and 4.

Explanation:

1. There can be no fault.

2. It will show an increase in chromosome number because the male gamete has 23 chromosomes, the female having the same number.. Which will increase the no. of chromosomes in the offspring's making it 46.

3. Meiosis involves the division of cells to 4n whereas mitosis, to 2n. In this case, it is meiosis

4. 1,2 and 4 where meiosis is taking place.
