15. Given that the number of chromosomes in each cell in the radicle is 16. The radicle cells are diploid (2n). Therefore, 2n = 16, which means the haploid number n = 8. (i) The zygote: The zygote is diploid. Number of chromosomes = 2n = 16 (Diploid) (ii) Pollen tube nucleus: The pollen tube nucleus is haploid. Number of chromosomes = n = 8 (Haploid) (iii) Cell of the endosperm: In flowering plants, the endosperm is typically triploid. Number of chromosomes = 3n = 3 × 8 = 24 (Triploid) (iv) Generative nucleus: The generative nucleus is haploid. Number of chromosomes = n = 8 (Haploid) 16. a) The part labeled B is the Brainstem. b) The part of the brain that controls body balance and posture is the Cerebellum (labeled C in the diagram). c) The significance of having the part labeled A (the cerebrum) highly folded is that the folds (gyri and sulci) increase the surface area of the cerebral cortex. This allows for a greater number of neurons to be packed into the brain, which enhances its capacity for complex cognitive functions such as memory, learning, language, and sensory processing.
