What is the fate of the male gametes discharged in the synergid?
- AOne fuses with egg, other(s) degenerate(s) in the synergid.
- BAll fuse with the egg.
- COne fuses with the egg, other(s) fuse(s) with synergid nucleus.
- DOne fuses with the egg and other fuses with central cell nuclei.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
During double fertilization, two male gametes are released.
One male gamete moves toward the egg cell and fuses with its nucleus (Syngamy) to form a zygote.
The other male gamete moves toward the central cell and fuses with the two polar nuclei (Triple Fusion) to form the primary endosperm nucleus (PEN).
