Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
A male plant of chromosome pp pollinates the plant having chromosome type PP. The expected chromosome in embryo and endosperm will be Embryo-Pp, Endosperm-PPp.
An embryo is a simple multicellular structure of undifferentiated cells. And embryonic development is seen only in the diploid generation. The embryo, however, is produced by the fusion of gametes, which are formed only by the haploid generation. Thus it is Pp.
An endosperm formed in sexual reproduction between diploid parents is typically triploid thus, it is PPp.
