Question

What is the ploidy of the embryo sac?

Answer 1

Embryo sac:

1. An embryo sac is a female gamete of a plant or tree that consists of a thin-walled sac inside the nucellus that includes the egg nucleus and other nuclei that produce endosperm after fertilization.
2. It is a grain plant's megaspore that evolves within the ovule, producing endosperm and trying to form the egg cell or nucleoli from which the embryo plant evolves after fertilization.
3. Ploidy represents the number of sets of chromosomes.
4. The embryo sac has a Haploid ploidy.
5. Haploid cells are usually formed for reproductive purposes.
6. When generating a zygote, distinct copies of the genome can be reorganized by reducing the genome to one copy.
7. Many new combinations are feasible within the offspring by lowering the DNA content in the gametes to haploid.
