Biology Question on Post-Fertilisation : Structures And Events
The endosperm of gymnosperm is
A
diploid
B
polyploid
C
triploid
D
haploid.
Answer
haploid.
Explanation
Solution
The endosperm of gymnospermsis haploid. It is a pre-fertilizationtissue that is equivalent to female gametophyte, therefore it is haploid in nature. However, in angiosperms, it is the post-fertilization tissue and is triploid in nature.
