The correct Answer is:
To determine which option can be used to obtain haploid plants, we need to analyze each option based on their chromosomal composition and the method of tissue culture. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Haploid Plants**: - Haploid plants are those that have only one set of chromosomes (n). These plants can be produced through tissue culture techniques. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Young Leaves**: - Young leaves are typically diploid (2n), meaning they have two sets of chromosomes. Therefore, they cannot be used to obtain haploid plants. - **Endosperm**: - Endosperm is usually triploid (3n), which means it has three sets of chromosomes. This also disqualifies it from being a source for haploid plants. - **Pollen Grains**: - Pollen grains are haploid (n), containing only one set of chromosomes. This makes them a suitable candidate for producing haploid plants. - **Root Tips**: - Root tips are generally diploid (2n) as well, similar to young leaves, and thus cannot be used to obtain haploid plants. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, only pollen grains are haploid and can be used to obtain haploid plants through tissue culture. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **C) Pollen grains**. ---
