Question
Which one of the following pairs of plant structures has haploid number of chromosomes ?
Options
A.Megaspore mother cell and antipodal cells
B.Egg cell and antipodal cells
C.Nucellus and antipodal cells
D.Egg nucleus and antipodal cells
Solution
In angiosperms a single diploid megaspore mother cell matures within an ovule. Through meiosis it gives it gives rise to four megaspores (haploid). In most plants only one of these megaspore survive This functional megaspore divides three times by mitosis and produces eight haploid nuclei enclosed within a 7-celled embryo sac. One nucleus is ocated near the opening of em bryo asc in eg cell. Two nuclei are located in a single cell in the middle of embryo sac and are called polar nuclei, two nuclei are contained in cells called synergids that flanf the egg cell and other three nuclei are resided in the cells called antipodals, located at the end of embryo sac opposite the egg cell.
Nucellus is centrally located mass of thin-walled parenchymatous cells covered by integuments in ovule.
