A scientist has perfected a technique for capturing individual cells during the process of reproduction.What will be captured along with one of the synergids just before fertilization?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synergids are two cells located at the micropylar (tip) end of the embryo sac. They play a role in guiding the pollen tube towards the egg cell for fertilization. Just before fertilization, one of the synergids releases a chemical signal to attract the pollen tube. At this stage, the synergids are accompanied by the egg cell and two polar nuclei in the same embryo sac. Sperm cells from the pollen tube will be captured by one of the synergids, leading to fertilization. Therefore, the choice A) Sperm cells is the best option.
