Solution
The correct option is B 5x
Female plant → 4x
Central cell → 2x + 2x (Fusion of polar bodies)
Male plant → 2x
Male gamete → 1x (haploid)
Endosperm = Central cell + Male gametes
= 2x + 2x + 1x
= 5x
Female plant → 4x
Central cell → 2x + 2x (Fusion of polar bodies)
Male plant → 2x
Male gamete → 1x (haploid)
Endosperm = Central cell + Male gametes
= 2x + 2x + 1x
= 5x
