If meiocyte of rice plant has 24 chromosomes then what is the chromosomes number in endosperm
Dear Student,
Meiocytes are diploid i.e. 2n and gamate cell is haploid i.e. n, where n is the number of chromosomes.
According to the question, meiocyte of rice plant has 24 chromosomes. This means that gamete must contain 12 chromosome (half of the diploid).
As you know, endosperm is a triploid i.e 3n
So,
Therefore, chromosomes in endosperm will be 36.
