Answer:
Explanation:
The hexaploid female contains 6n number of chromosomes wheras the diploid male contains 2n number of chromosomes!
Hence, ploidy of egg = 6n/2 = 3n
Ploidy of the sperm = 2n/2 = n
Hence, after fertilisation the endosperm is formed by fusion of 2 male cells and 1 female cell. Therefore, the ploidy will be= 3n + n + n = 5n
