Hexaploid wheat implies that it has six sets of chromosomes. The somatic cells are hexaploid, with six sets of chromosomes, 2n = 42 while the gametes are haploid , n = 21. Endosperm is triploid (3n) while the egg cell is haploid (n). So, the number of chromosomes in endosperm and egg cell will be 63 (3n=21×3=63) and 21 (n=21) respectively.
