Question

If the diploid number of chromosome in an angiosperm plant is 18 what is in endosperm

Answer 1

54 chromosomes will be present in the Endosperm.

It is the fact that the Endosperm of Angiosperms are triploid in nature i.e. 3n.

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

Hence the endosperm will have:

2n=36

n= 36/2 = 18.

Therefore,

Endosperm: 3n= 18*3 = 54
