A gymnospermic leaf carries 16 chromosomes. The number of chromosomes in its endosperm will be A 12 B 8 C 16 D 24
Option B . According to question, the number of chromosomes in leaf is 16 (2n) which means that its haploid chromosome number (the chromosome number present in gametes) is 8 (n). The megaspores, being the product of meiosis in megaspore mother cells (2n), are haploid and therefore chromosome number of its endosperm is n=8.
