alleryThe mature embryo sac (female gametophyte) in flowering plants typically has:
A8 nuclei and 8 cells
B8 nuclei and 7 cells
C4 nuclei and 4 cells
D16 nuclei and 7 cells
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 8 nuclei and 7 cells
The typical embryo sac is 8-nucleate and 7-celled: 3 antipodals + 2 polar nuclei (in the central cell, so counts as 1 cell with 2 nuclei) + 1 egg + 2 synergids = 8 nuclei in 7 cells.
