Q. The pollen tube usually enters the embryo sac

AIIMSAIIMS 2004

Solution:

Entry of pollen tube into the ovule may be possible through micropyle (porogamy), through chalaza (chalazogamy) and through integuments (mesogamy). But in most cases pollen tube enters through micropyle. Irrespective of the place of entry of pollen tube into the ovule, the tube invariably enters the embryo sac at micropylar end in between the egg cell and synergid.
