Cells of tapetum generally have more than one nucleus. This condition in the cells is developed due to 
1. Plasmogamy not followed by karyogamy
2. Failure of cytoplasmic division after nuclear division
3. Failure of the separation of daughter chromosomes during cell division 
4. Migration of nuclei in a cell from neighbouring cells
