Why are yellow bananas called triploid organisms?
Triploid organisms are normally sterile as their lack of homologous chromosomes prevents pairing during meiosis. This can be useful to plant breeders, for example in banana cultivation: sterile triploid bananas can be propagated asexually and will not contain any seeds.
What is another name for triploid?
Triploid is also known as 3n.
What is the Triploid stage of a flowering plant?
The triploid stage of a flowering plant occurs during fertilization when the male and female gametes combine to form a triploid zygote. This triploid zygote then develops into the endosperm, which provides nutrients for the developing embryo in the seed. The triploid endosperm typically contains three sets of chromosomes, one from the male and two from the female parent.
The triploid nucleus in the megaspore divides to produce?
The triploid nucleus in the megaspore divides to produce endosperm, which provides the plan embryo in the seed with food.
If the diploid number of a plant is ten how many chromosomes would you expect to find in its triploid offspring?
If the diploid number of the plant is ten, then its haploid number is 5. Since triploid refers to three times the haploid number, then a triploid plant would have 15 chromosomes.
Are all bananas sterilized?
Assuming you mean sterile as in seedless (unable to reproduce), the majority of the ones you find in the store are. The plants tend to have 50% more chromosomes than normal (triploid). That makes them free of seeds and thus sterile. The black specks inside are not seeds. The way they propagate these are with clippings. So the majority of the bananas you eat of a specific cultivar have the same DNA.
Plants with four sets of chromosomes are said to be triploid?
Triploid indicates there are three sets of chromosomes within the nucleus. A plant with four sets of chromosomes is said to have a tetraploid nucleus.
A triploid cell resulting from double fertilization becomes the what?
A triploid cell resulting from double fertilization becomes the endosperm, which provides nutrients to the developing embryo in plants.
Triploid organisms have copies of each chromosome?
In triploid organisms, there are three sets of chromosomes in each cell. This can lead to genetic imbalances and affect the organism's development and viability. Triploidy commonly occurs in plants, but can also occur in animals, including humans.
When cells contain three copies of a chromosome it is called?
Triploid.
What is the 3n nutritive tissue in the seed of angiosperms called?
the triploid The endosperm is a nutritive tissue which nourishes the developing embryo. The endosperm in angiosperm is triploid (3n) and it is a post - fertilization structure.
Who made bananas?
Bananas are not "made"; no one makes them but people can assist banana trees to grow. Bananas are part of creation, like other fruits; they are referred to as being created.
