Question

The endosperm of angiospermic plant is

• A. Haploid
• B. Diploid
• C. Triploid
• D. Tetraploid

Hint:

Endosperm is triploid in most angiosperms, ensuring adequate nourishment for seed development.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the concept.
The endosperm is a tissue formed by the fusion of a sperm cell and two polar nuclei of the female gametophyte. It provides nutrition to the developing embryo within the seed.
Step 2: Concept of endosperm in angiosperms.
In angiospermic plants, the endosperm is typically triploid (3n), formed after fertilization when one sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct answer is ((C) Triploid.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Triploid}} \]
