Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synergids are the cells present in the female gametophyte of angiosperms. They help in the guidance and entry of the pollen tube into the embryo sac for fertilization. Therefore, just before fertilization, along with one of the synergids, the scientist would capture the sperm cells that are necessary for fertilization to occur. Options B, C, D, and E are not correct as generative nuclei, tube nuclei, pollen nuclei, and microspores are not present in the embryo sac and do not participate in the process of fertilization.
