Question

If the somatic cell of an angiosperm contain 18 chromosomes the chromosome number in its endosperm will be

Answer 1

Heya !!

Here's the answer !!

The given info is :

There are 18 chromosomes in the somatic cell of an angiosperm.

The Question asked is :

To find the number of chromosomes in the Endosperm .

Answer :

Somatic cell is diploid (2n)

2n = 18

n =18/2= 9

Endosperm is triploid (3n)

It's because it's formed by triple fusion .

3n = 3×9 (since n=9)

Endosperm (3n )= 27

Hence, the number of chromosomes in the Endosperm is 27

Hope This Helps You :)
