Question

What is the number of chromosomes in aleurone layer if 10 number of chromosomes are found in megaspore mother cell?

• A. 10
• B. 20
• C. 15
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C 15

If chromosomes of megaspore mother cell are 10; it ensures that the diploid number is 10. 2n = 10. Therefore, n = 5. Aleurone layer will be triploid in nature. Thus, the number of chromosomes in aleurone layer = 15.
