Answer 1

Answer:

3n - Triploid

Explanation:

This is an important point so remember , it will help in exams .

The endosperm of coconut has two parts :

1) The liquid

2) The soft edible kernel

Both of these develop from the PEN (primary endosperm nuclei) after the fertilisation, which on itself is triploid , therefore the derevatives of the PEN , the liquid endosperm and the kernel both are triploid (3n)

NOTE : The liquid endosperm undergoes free nuclear division and the solid kernel undergoes cellular division
