If an angiospermic male plant is diploid and female plant tetraploid, the ploidy level of endosperm will be

A

Haploid

B

Triploid

C

Tetraploid

D

Pentaploid

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When we cross a diploid female parent 2n with tetra follows:–
Parents: 2n (diploid female) `xx` 4n (Tetraploid male)
Gametes:n `xx` 2n
Zygote = 3n
Endosperm is formed by the process of triple fusion with polar nuclei that are haploid but the male game is diploid.
