Through which cell of the embryo sac, does the pollen tube enter the embryo sac?

  1. Egg cell
  2. Persistent synergid
  3. Degenerated synergid
  4. Central cell

Correct answer: Degenerated synergid

Solution

In angiosperms, the pollen tube is guided by the synergids at the micropylar end of the embryo sac. It typically enters through the degenerated synergid, which has already served its role in attracting the tube.
