Read the following scenario to answer the questions.
The pineapple, grown for its sweet fruit, is a tropical monocot with a diploid number of 50. It can live for many years. The plant starts as one short stem with tough leaves. The flowers of the pineapple are located as a cluster at the very top of the stem. After pollination, the single fruit forms from the fusion of the ovaries of the flowers in the cluster. The seeds are located just underneath the surface of the fruit. The pineapple fruit is harvested by cutting at the base of the fruit. After the first fruit is produced, side shoots grow from the main stem, which can go on to produce additional fruits.
-Where would we expect to find cells with 25 unpaired chromosomes in a pineapple plant?
A) in the leaves
B) in the ovaries prior to pollination
C) in the fruit
