Question: Okra's chromosome number is – (Okra's chromosome number is -)
Options:
2n = 130
2n = 24
2n = 48
2n = 18
✅ EXPLANATION:: Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a flowering plant belonging to the Malvaceae family. The chromosome number of a species refers to the total number of chromosomes present in the nucleus of a single cell. In eukaryotes, the chromosome number usually exists in two forms: haploid (n) and diploid (2n). Haploid number represents the number of chromosomes in a gamete (sex cell), while the diploid number represents the number of chromosomes in a somatic cell (body cell). Okra has a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 130. This means that each somatic cell of the okra plant has 130 chromosomes.
