Question

If the number of chromosomes in the leaf cell of a flowering plants in 28 what number would you expect in the embryo and endosperm?

Answer 1

Answer:

embryo = 28 , endosperm = 42

Explanation:

since both leaf cell and embryo are diploid they have 2n number of chromosomes 2×14=28 chromosomes, where n = 14

endosperm is in triploid condition i.e, 3n=3×14=42 chromosomes
