b) A stock contains 56 chromosomes and scion contain 24 chromosomes. How many
chromosomes are present in root and egg cells of the resultant plants respectively ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a). In binary fission, the parent cell divides itself into two equal and identical daughter cells. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. In multiple fission, a single parent cell is divided into many daughter cells.

Explanation

b) the chromosome number in the vegetative parts of the scion will be same as the original i.e. 30. However, in gamates; egg cell or pollen the chromosome number will be half of the original plant (in this case scion) so, it will be half of original
