NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 101

In angiosperm, the haploid, diploid and triploid structures of a fertilized embryo sac sequentially are :

  1. Option A:

    Antipodals, synergids, and primary endosperm nucleus

  2. Option B:

    Synergids, Zygote and Primary endosperm nucleus

    Correct
  3. Option C:

    Synergids, antipodals and Polar nuclei

  4. Option D:

    Synergids, Primary endosperm nucleus and zygote

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Synergids are the cells of gametophyte and hence these are haploid Zygote is formed by fusion

of two gametes and thus it is diploid. Primary endosperm nucleus is formed by the fusion of

diploid secondary nucleus with a male gamete. Therefore, it is triploid.
