Question

The cells of endosperm have $24$ chromosomes. What will be the number of chromosomes in the gametes?

• A. $8$
• B. $16$
• C. $23$
• D. $32$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

In angiosperms, endosperm is a triploid structure.
$\therefore$ $3n=24$(given), then $n=8$
As gametes are haploid structures, therefore number of chromosomes in gametes will be $8$.
