| If a cell of a durum wheat leaf has 28 chromosomes (diploid set), then how many chromosomes are contained in sperm (haploid set), how many are in embryonic cells (diploid set), and in endosperm (triploid set of chromosomes)?
Diploid set of 28 chromosomes, both in leaf cells and in the embryo; haploid: 28: 2 = 14; triploid – 14 3 = 42.
Answer: sperm – 14, cells – 28, endosperm – 42
