What would be the number of chromosomes of the aleurone cells of a plant with 42 chromosomes In its root tip cells ?
21
42
63
84
The endosperm's outermost cell layer is called the aleurone layer. The endosperm is triploid in ploidy. A haploid cell would have 21 chromosomes if the root cell, which is diploid, had 42 chromosomes, while a triploid cell would have 3 X 21=63 chromosomes.
