Q. How many nuclei are found in female gametophyte?

Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

A typical angiospermic embryo sac at maturity has $8$-nuclei. Six out of the eight nuclei are surrounded by cell walls and organised into cells (egg apparatus and antipodal cells) and the remaining two nuclei, called polar nuclei, are situated below the egg apparatus in the large central cell.
