In Jimson weed (D atsura stramonicum), pollen with extr a

chromosomes DO NOT survive, but female gametes (ovum) are


viable. Knowing how meiosis might occur in a trisomic organism (a
plant in this case), predict the male and female gametes that might
form in the following trisomic plant. Also, determine which gamete

2n+1trisomic zygotes. Assume that tetrasomic zygotes do not
survive.
