NEETBiologySexual Reproduction in Flowering PlantsMCQ+4 / −1
When a diploid female plant is crossed with a tetraploid male, the ploidy of endosperm cells in the resulting seed is
  1. A
    tetraploidy
  2. B
    pentaploidy
  3. C
    diploidy
  4. D
    triploidy
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: A

Endosperm is formed due to fusion of the haploid male gamete with the polar nucleus of the embryo sac. But in this case the male plant is tetraploid so that its gametes would be diploid. When these diploid gametes fuse with two polar nuclei of the embryo sac the resultant endosperm would be tetraploid.
