Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. The polar nuclei are located in the central cell of the embryo sac.
• B. Nucellus is the protective covering around the ovule.
• C. Filiform apparatus is located at the chalazal end.
• D. Embryo sac is located in the integuments.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The polar nuclei are located in the central cell of the embryo sac.

The polar nuclei are located in the central cell of the embryo sac.

The protective covering around the ovule are the integuments.

Nucellus is the diploid nutritive tissue enclosed within the integuments. Embryo sac is located in the nucellus.

The filiform apparatus is located at the micropylar end and not the chalazal end. Filiform apparatus helps in guiding the pollen tube into the synergids.
