Question

In an embryo sac, the cells that degenerate after fertilisation are (A) synergids and primary endosperm cell (B) synergids and antipodals (C) antipodals and primary endosperm cell (D) egg and antipodals

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Synergids and antipodals are the cells that are present in the embryo sac at the time of fertilization. Once the fertilization of the male gamete and the egg occurs and the zygote is formed. The synergids and antipodal cells degenerate after that and the ovary converts into a fruit.
So, the correct option is 'Synergids and antipodals'
