To solve the problem of determining the number of chromosomes in various cells of an angiospermic plant that has 32 chromosomes in its somatic cells, we need to understand the basic concepts of plant reproduction and chromosome numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Somatic Cells**: - Somatic cells are diploid (2n) and contain the full set of chromosomes. In this case, the somatic cells have 32 chromosomes, which means the diploid number (2n) is 32. 2. **Megaspore Mother Cell (MMC)**: ...
