  1. A diploid female plant and a tetraploid male plant are crossed. The ploidy of endosperm shall be
    1. tetraploid
    2. triploid
    3. diploid
    4. pentaploid
Correct Option: A

Diploid female plant will have 2 polar nuclei (each haploid) with which one male gamete form tetraploid male plant (male gamete of tetraploid plant will be diploid) fuses, making endosperm. So endosperm will be tetraploid.
