If a rye leaf cell has 14 chromosomes (diploid set of chromosomes), then how many chromosomes are there in the egg (haploid set), how many are in the root cells (diploid set), and in the endosperm (triploid set of chromosomes)?

Diploid set of 14 chromosomes, both in leaf and root cells; haploid: 14: 2 = 7; triploid 7*3 = 21.
Answer: egg cell – 7, root cells – 14, endosperm – 21.
