Solution
The pollen tube carrying male gametes penetrates in one of the synergids. Watery contents of synergid are absorbed by the pollen tube, which then ruptures and releases the contents, including the two non-motile male gametes. As non-motile male gametes are carried through hollow pollen tubes, it is known as siphonogamy that ensures fertilization to take place.
