In angiosperms, pollen tube liberate their male gametes into the:
Correct answer: D. Synergids
- A. Central cell
- B. Antipodal cells
- C. Egg cell
- D. Synergids
Explanation
On reaching of pollen tube inside the embryo sac, the 2 male gametes are discharged through a subterminal pore in pollen tube. The contents of pollen tube are discharged in the synergid and the pollen tube does not grow beyond it in the embryo sac. Further the cytoplasm of pollen tube is restricted to chalazal end of this synergid cell.
