When a diploid female plant is crossed with a tetraploid male, the ploidy of endosperm cells in the resulting seed is

  1. tetraploidy
  2. pentaploidy
  3. diploidy
  4. triploidy

Answer

(1) tetraploidy

Solution

As per NCERT, the primary endosperm nucleus is formed by the fusion of one male gamete with the two polar nuclei (triple fusion).

⇒ Female plant is diploid (2n) ⇒ its embryo sac nuclei (polar nuclei) are haploid: n each.

⇒ Male plant is tetraploid (4n) ⇒ its male gametes are 2n.

⇒ Ploidy of endosperm = n + n + 2n = 4n

∴ The endosperm cells are tetraploid.
