What would be the number of chromosomes of the aleurone cells of a plant with 42 chromosomes in its root tip cells? 

  • 63

  • 84

  • 21

  • 21


A.

63

The outermost cell layer of the endosperm (3n) of seed is called aleurone layer. Since the cells of aleurone layer are triploid, the number of chromosomes would be = 63, as root tip cells (2n) has 42 chromosomes.
