Q. If root of a flowering plant has 24 chromosomes, then its gamete has how many chromosomes?

Jharkhand CECEJharkhand CECE 2008

Solution:

The root cell of flowering plant is diploid $ (2n=24), $ while the gamete is haploid, therefore, the number of chromosomes becomes 12 in the gamete. The cells of stem, leaf and somatic cells of flower are diploid, therefore, they contain the chromosome number $ 2n=24. $
