If the chromosome number in the root cell of Zea mays is 20, then what would be the chromosome number in the cell of (i) radicle, (ii) hypocotyls, (iii) epiblast, (iv) aleurone layer and (iv) scutellum, respectively?
(i) | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | (v) | |
(1) | 20 | 30 | 20 | 30 | 20 |
(2) | 20 | 20 | 20 | 30 | 20 |
(3) | 20 | 30 | 30 | 30 | 20 |
(4) | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 | 20 |
Radicle is 20, epicotyl 20, aleurone layer 30 (triploid) and scutellum 20. Radicle, epicotyl and scutellum are diploid.
