A.
30
B.
20
Answer
C.
10
D.
40

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The endosperm of an organism has chromosome 30. So the chromosome in the root cell is 20.
The endosperm is triploid, i.e. 3n.
3n = 30
Therefore n =
Each cell of the root is diploid that will be 2n, that will be 2 × 10= 20
