                    What would be the number of chromosomes in the cells of the aleurone layer in a plant species with 8 chromosomes in its synergids?                                                                                                                 

    A)                  16                         

    B)                  24                                         

    C)                  32                         

    D)                  8

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Synergids are two, short-lived, haploid ceils lying close to the egg in mature embryosac of flowering plant ovule. While the endosperm is a triploid tissue formed after triple fusion. Thus, if the synergids have 8 chromosomes, thealeurone layer (part of endosperm) will have just triple of that of chromosomes in the synergids i.e., 24 chromosomes.
