  1. What would be the number of chromosomes of the aleurone cells of a plant with 42 chromosomes in its root tip cells?
    1. 42
    2. 63
    3. 84
    4. 21
Correct Option: B

Aleurone cells are the outer cell layer of the endosperm, usually only one cell thick in wheat and the only endosperm tissue alive at maturity. The cell layers of this layer are responsible for the de-novo synthesis of enzyme needed during germination. The chromosome number is 63 of a plant with 42 chromosome in its root tip cells.
