Question

Which of the following pair of cells are haploid?

• A. Nucellus and antipodals
• B. Polar nuclei and Nucellus
• C. Egg cell and antipodals
• D. Etc

Hint:

Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes, while diploid cells contain two sets. In plant reproduction, the egg cell and antipodal cells are examples of haploid cells.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In the context of plants and their reproductive system, haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes. The egg cell and antipodals are haploid, meaning they each contain a single set of chromosomes. The Nucellus and polar nuclei are diploid, as they contain two sets of chromosomes. Therefore, option C, which mentions the egg cell and antipodals, is the correct answer.
