How many chromosomes are present in gymnosperm endosperm if the leaf has 12 chromosomes?
Options
- A6
- B12
- C18
- D24
Correct answer
A. 6
Step-by-step solution
Gymnosperms are a group of vascular plants that reproduce by means of spores such as cycas, ginkgo, and conifers, etc. and these spores generally develop on the surface of scale or leaf-like appendage of cones. In gymnosperm root, stem and leaf all are diploid 2n = 12. So n will be 6 and the endosperm of a gymnosperm is haploid.
