Question:medium

Which of the following pair of cells are haploid?

Show Hint

In plants, the egg cell and antipodal cells are haploid, while the central cell and polar nuclei are typically diploid.

  • Nucleus and antipodals.
  • Polar nuclei and Nucleus.
  • Egg cell and antipodals.
  • Etc.
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


This question requires the identification of haploid cell pairs. Haploid cells possess a single set of chromosomes. - The egg cell is haploid, containing half the chromosomal number needed for fertilization. - Antipodal cells, originating from the female gametophyte, are also haploid. Conversely: - The nucleus and polar nuclei are diploid, containing two sets of chromosomes. - The ovule's nucleus is also diploid. Consequently, option (C) is correct, as both the egg cell and antipodal cells are haploid.
