Q. An Angiospermic plant has 24 chromosomes in ‘microspore mother cells’. The number of chromosome in its endosperm will be
A) 12
B) 24
C) 36
D) 48
Explanation
In question, the number of chromosomes in microspore mother cell (2$n$) is 24 $(n = 12)$. Thus, the number of chromosomes in endosperm tissue $(2n + n = 3n)$ would be $24 + 12 = 36$ chromosomes.
