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 (polar nuclei) fuse with a male gamete that gives rise to pentaploid endosperm.
