Question

What would be the number of chromosomes in the cells of the aluerone layer in a plant species 8 chromosomes are found in its species?

Answer 1

Dear student,

The cells of aleurone layer are triploid (3n), i.e., they contain two maternal chromosomes and one paternal chromosome. Therefore, cells will have 24 chromosomes in the aleurone layer, considering 8 chromosomes to be the haploid no.(n) of the chromosomes present in that plant species.

Regards.
