Q. Number of chromosomes in root cells of an angiospermic plant is 14, then the number of chromosomes in its synergid cells will be

JIPMERJIPMER 2011Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

Angiospermic plants are diploid in nature. Synergids are part of female gametophyte and are haploid in nature. Hence if root cells have 14 chromosomes then synergids must have 7 (14/2) chromosomes.
