If the endosperm cells of an angiosperm seed are pentaploid, then such a seed may have been formed by which of the following parents?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

If more than two sets of chromosomes are present then that condition is called polyploidy. The correct answer should be B because diploid male undergo meiosis and give rise to haploid male gamete(n). Similarly, the tetraploid female gamete undergoes meiosis that also gives rise to gametes (2n). These female gametes (2n+2npolar nuclei) fuse with a male gamete that gives rise to pentaploid endosperm.
