Biology Question on sexual reproduction in flowering plants
Embryo of flowering plant is always:
A
(A) Haploid (n)
B
(B) Diploid (2n)
C
(C) Triploid (3n)
D
(D) Tetraploid (4n)
Answer
(B) Diploid (2n)
Explanation
Solution
Explanation:
Embryo of flowering plant is always Diploid (2n).The plant life cycle alternates between haploid and diploid generations. 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.Hence, the correct option is (B).
