Question

In embryo sac, the number of synergid arrow egg cell arrow central cell arrow antipodal cell follows the order (A) 1-1-2 -3 (B) 2-1-3-2 (C) 2 -1-1-3 (D) 3-2-1-2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The functional megaspore develops into the embryo sac containing 2 synergids, 1 egg cell, 1 central cell and 3 antipodal cells. Thus, option (c) gives the correct number of different cells in an embryo sac.

Q. In embryo sac, the number of synergid $\to$ egg cell $\to$ central cell $\to$ antipodal cell follows the order

1-1-2 -3

2-1-3-2

2 -1-1-3

3-2-1-2

The functional megaspore develops into the embryo sac containing $2$ synergids, $1$ egg cell, $1$ central cell and $3$ antipodal cells. Thus, option (c) gives the correct number of different cells in an embryo sac.
