Vedclass · Answer

(D) haploid callus is derived from cells that contain only one set of chromosomes $(n)$. In plants,the only cells that are naturally haploid are the gametophytes,such as pollen grains (microspores) or embryo sacs (megaspores). By culturing pollen grains (microspore culture) on a suitable nutrient medium,the cells undergo division to form a mass of undifferentiated haploid cells known as a haploid callus. Embryos,leaf tissues,and stigmas are diploid $(2n)$ structures and would result in a diploid callus.
