Question

If the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes in an angiospermic plant is 16, what will be the number of chromosomes in its endosperm and antipodal cells?

Answer 1

Answer:

here is your answer

Explanation:

The diploid number of chromosomes in an angiosperm plant (2n) = 16.

The haploid number n will be 8.

Endosperm of an angiosperm is triploid. Hence,

number of chromosomes present in endosperm 3n = 8 x 3= 24.

Antipodal cells are haploid cells. Hence, the number of chromosomes in antipodal cells will be 8.
