8
B.
12
C.
16
D.
24
AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The chromosome number in the oosphere is 8. The number in angiospermic endosperm shall be 24.
The endosperm is gametophytic tissue and is haploid. A gymnopsermic leaf is a somatic organ that has diploid chromosome number in its cell.Endosperm is triploid 3n. As, n = 8.
Thus, the number in angiospermic endosperm will be 8 × 3 = 24
