Question
With respect to angiosperms, which of the following is incorrectly paired with its chromosome count?a. $\operatorname{egg}-n$c. microspore- $n$b. megaspore $-2 n$d. zygote $-2 n$
Step 1
In angiosperms, the egg and microspore are haploid (n), meaning they have a single set of chromosomes. The megaspore is also haploid (n), not diploid (2n) as stated in the question. The zygote, which is formed after fertilization, is diploid (2n), meaning it has Show more…
