Question

If the diploid number of a flowering plant is 36. What would be the chromosome number in its endosperm
a. 36
b. 18
c. 54
d. 72

Answer 1

54 is the right answer for the question.

When the diploid number of a flowering plant is 36 then the chromosome number in its endosperm will be 54.

The number of chromosomes in flower cell will be in diploid i.e. 2n.

Endosperm will have2n=36 and n= 36/2 = 18.

Therefore, Endosperm: 3n= 18*3 = 54.
