The palisade cells of a species of plant contain 28 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will there be in each gamete produced by the plant?(a) 56 (b) 28 (c) 14 (d) 4
Correct Answer: (c) 14
Explanation:
Palisade cells of the plant are considered to be the vegetative or somatic cells of the plant. It contains 28 chromosomes.
When such plants produce gametes (sexual cells), it produces half the number of chromosomes present in somatic cells. Therefore, gametes produced by the plant will contain 14 number of chromosomes.
