Question

Given here is diagram of embryo sac. Which option is correctly matched.

• A. a- synergids, b- anytipodal cells, c- egg cells, d- polar nuclei
• B. a- egg cell, b- synergids, c- polar nuclei, d- antipodal cells
• C. a- egg cell, b- polar nuclei, c- synergids, d- antipodal cells
• D. a- antipodal cells, b- egg cell, c- polar nuclei, d- synergids

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a- egg cell, b- synergids, c- polar nuclei, d- antipodal cells

In the given diagram of the embryo sac:

• (a) is the egg cell.

• (b) shows the synergids that are present laterally to the egg cell.

• (c) shows the polar nuclei that form the central cell.

• (d) shows the Antipodal cells which are three in number and present towards the chalazal pole.

So, the correct answer is B.
