The female plant contains 36 chromosomes and the male plant contains 20 chromosomes. Calculate the number of chromosomes found in the zygote and endosperm.

Zygote= Male gamete+ Female gametePEN= Male gamete + Secondary nucleus. PEN is present inside the PEC which later forms endospermFemale plant= 36 chromosomesGametes= 36/2=18 chromosomesMale plant= 20 chromosomesGametes= 20/2= 10 chromosomesZygote= 10+18= 28 chromosomesEndosperm= Secondary nucleus(2n) +male gameteEndosperm= 36+10=46 chromosomes
