The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the ploidy levels that are not the same, we will analyze the options provided and determine their respective ploidy levels. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ploidy Level**: - Ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. Common ploidy levels include: - **Haploid (N)**: One set of chromosomes. - **Diploid (2N)**: Two sets of chromosomes. - **Triploid (3N)**: Three sets of chromosomes. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Integument**: - The integument is the outer covering of the ovule in flowering plants. It is derived from the diploid sporophyte generation. - **Ploidy Level**: 2N (Diploid). - **Option B: Nucellus**: - The nucellus is the central part of the ovule and is also diploid. - **Ploidy Level**: 2N (Diploid). - **Option C: Root Tip and Shoot Tip**: - Both root tips and shoot tips arise from the meristematic tissues of the plant, which are also diploid. - **Ploidy Level**: 2N (Diploid). - **Option D: Secondary Nucleus and Endosperm**: - The secondary nucleus is formed from the fusion of two polar nuclei within the embryo sac, making it diploid. - **Ploidy Level**: 2N (Diploid). - The endosperm is formed when a male gamete (haploid, N) fuses with the secondary nucleus (diploid, 2N), resulting in a triploid structure. - **Ploidy Level**: 3N (Triploid). 3. **Conclusion**: - The only pair of structures that have different ploidy levels is the **secondary nucleus (2N)** and the **endosperm (3N)**. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **Answer: Secondary nucleus and endosperm.**
