Question

the meiocyte of rice has 24 chromosomes. write the number of chromosomes in its endosperm​

Answer 1

Answer:

The union of two haploid gametes develops diploid zygote (2n) and thus the chromosome number will be 24. Endosperm is developed due to the fusion of two polar nuclei and one of the male gamete; thus, endosperm cell is triploid (3n). So, endosperm cell will have 36 (12x3) chromosomes.
