If one set of chromosomes for a given plant is represented as N; in case of double fertilization, the zygote and the endosperm nucleus of a diploid plant would have how many sets of chromosomes respectively?
If one set of chromosomes for a given plant is represented as N; in case of double fertilization, the zygote and the endosperm nucleus of a diploid plant would have how many sets of chromosomes respectively? Correct Answer 2 N and 3 N
Flowering plants show double fertilization in which two male gametes fuse with one female gamete.
- In this case, while one male gamete fertilizes the egg to form a zygote, the other fuses with two polar nuclei resulting in the formation of an endosperm.
- Double fertilization stimulates the plant resulting in the development of ovules into seed and ovary into fruit.
- The zygote will have 2N chromosomes.
- The endosperm nucleus will have 3N sets of chromosomes after double fertilization.
