Question

There are 20 chromosome in the somatic cells of maize what will be the chromosome number in its nucellar cells, antipodal cell, endosperm cells and egg cell

Answer 1

Except for endosperm and egg cells, all the mentioned cells are diploid. Thus, they will have the same number of chromosomes as somatic cells do.
Nucellar cells and antipodal cell will have 20 chromosomes.
Egg cell is haploid, and it will have 10 chromosomes.
Endosperm cell is triploid, so it will have 30 chromosomes.
