If male plantis tetraplid and female plant is diploid, the endosperm will be:

A

6n

B

8n

C

12n

D

4n

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Endosperm will be 4n. The tetraploid plant contribute 2n male gamete and diploid plant (female plant) contributes two haploid polars to form a secondary nucleus of 2n nature which finally develops into primary endosperm through triple fusion using diploid male gamete. Ploidy level is thus 4n.
