Question

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

Answer 1

Hi
____________
Here is the answer
•••••••••••••••••••••
(C) Endosperm is a product of triple fusion. One male nuclei (n=18) fuses with diploid secondary nucleus (2n=36), so it becomes triploid structure (3n= 54). So: ploidy of endosperm is (3n) and chromosomes will be 54.
