Question

What would be number of chromosomes in aleurone layer if megaspore mother cell contains 10 chromosomes?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C 15

Megaspore mother cell is diploid in nature. Thus, if 2n= 10, the number of chromosomes in aleurone layer will be triploid in nature. The number of chromosomes is thus, 3n = 15.

So, the correct answer is option C.
