The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Triploid Tissue**: - Triploid tissue refers to a type of tissue that has three sets of chromosomes (3n). This is important in the context of plant biology, particularly in the development of certain tissues during fertilization. 2. **Identifying Options**: - The options given are: - Option 1: Endosperm - Option 2: Leaf - Option 3: Root - Option 4: Prothalus (F1) 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1: Endosperm**: - The endosperm is formed during fertilization when one male gamete fuses with two polar nuclei (which are 2n). This results in a triploid nucleus (3n), making the endosperm a triploid tissue. - **Option 2: Leaf**: - Leaves are part of the plant's vegetative structure and are diploid (2n) because they arise from the zygote and are part of the plant body. - **Option 3: Root**: - Similar to leaves, roots are also diploid (2n) as they develop from the zygote and contribute to the plant's structure. - **Option 4: Prothalus (F1)**: - Prothalus is a gametophyte stage in certain plants and is typically haploid (n), not triploid. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only option that represents triploid tissue is **Option 1: Endosperm**. ### Final Answer: - The correct answer is **Endosperm**. ---
