What would be the number of chromosomes in the cells of the aleurone layer in a plant species with 8 chromosomes in its synergids?

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. (b) Synergid cells are haploid (n). Given synergid chromosome number = 8 (n) Therefore, sporophytic cells = 2n = 16 Aleurone layer is part of endosperm, which is triploid (3n). So, chromosomes in aleurone layer = 3 × 8 = 24
