Solution
The correct option is A 12
A megaspore mother cell is a diploid cell in plants in which meiosis will occur, resulting in the production of four megaspores. Therefore in the given example the diploid chromosome number is 24. 2n=24. Thus the number of chromosome in the endosperm is 12, because endosperm in gymnosperm is haploid.
