Question

The nuclei present in central cell of embryo sac is called

• A. Egg Nuclei
• B. Antipodal nuclei
• C. Polar Nuclei
• D. Synergid nuclei

Hint:

The embryo sac is often described as "7-celled but 8-nucleate" because the large central cell contains two separate polar nuclei before they fuse.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: In a typical angiosperm embryo sac, the central cell is the largest cell located in the middle.
Step 2: This cell contains two nuclei, which are referred to as polar nuclei.
Step 3: During triple fusion, these two polar nuclei fuse with a male gamete to form the triploid primary endosperm nucleus (PEN).
