Question

Which embryo sac cells can develop into embryos other than the egg cell in polyembryony?

पर्याय

• Synergids, antipodal cells, and endosperm cells

• Only synergids and antipodal cells

• Only endosperm cells and polar nuclei

• Only nucellar cells and integument cells

Answer 1

Embryos can develop from various cells within the embryo sac other than the egg cell. Synergids develop into embryos in Aristolochia, antipodal cells in Ulmus, and endosperm cells in Balanophora. This demonstrates the diverse cellular origins of polyembryonic development in angiosperms.
