    ANSWER KEY

    SECTION – B

    ANSWER 1 – In polyembryony, an embryo that develops from the synergid is haploid, while the embryo
    that develops from the nucellus is diploid.

    ANSWER 2 – The ovary develops into fruits and ovules develop into seeds.

    ANSWER 3 – Generative cell .

    ANSWER 4 - The stigma, which is the terminal receptive part of the pistil, determines the compatibility of
    pollen grains. The stigma acts as a landing platform for pollen grains

    ANSWER 5 –

    The egg apparatus is composed of one egg and two synergid cells. It is present at the micropylar end of
    the embryo sac.

    SECTION – C

    ANSWER 1 – Pollination in water plants, also called hydrophily, can occur through water, wind, or
    insects. In surface hydrophily, pollen floats on the water's surface until it contacts flowers. In
    submerged freshwater plants, like Vallisneria, the pollen released is lighter than water and floats on
    the water surface. The pollen flows along the water current and reaches the stigma of the female
    flower.

    ANSWER 2 – No, pollination and fertilization are not necessary in apomixis because it is a form of
    asexual reproduction that doesn't involve male gametes. In apomixis, seeds or embryos develop
    without fertilization, and the resulting seed germinates into a plant that develops as a maternal
    clone. The embryos develop directly from the nucellus or synergids, and the seeds develop directly
    from megaspore mother cells or the nucellar cells .

    ANSWER 3 – The zygote begins to divide after the primary endosperm cell (PEC) divides because the
    zygote needs food to create new cells. The PEC forms the endosperm, which stores food for the
    developing embryo. Without food, the zygote can't get the raw materials it needs to make new cells.
    ANSWER 4 – In a three-celled pollen, one of the cells is a vegetative cell which forms the tube cell,
    present at the tip of the tube. The remaining two cells are the male gametes and they are the actual
    participants in fertilization. Hence, inside the pollen tube, the generative cells divide rather than the
    vegetative cell. In 60% of the cases, the generative cell divides inside the pollen tube. In remaining
    case, the generative cell divides much before pollination and hence, no division takes place in the
    pollen tube.

    ANSWER 5 – Parts of embryo sac of an angiosperm

    A typical mature embryo sac of an angiosperm is composed of seven cells and eight nuclei. They are as
    follows:-
    ● Egg apparatus with one egg and two synergid cells
    ● Three antipodal cells
    ● Two central polar nuclei remain free until fertilization
    by male gamete.

    Egg apparatus
    The egg apparatus is present at the micropylar end and is composed of an egg and two synergids.
    Antipodal cell
    Three antipodals are present at the chalaza end.
    Central polar nuclei
    Two polar nuclei are present in the center and form a diploid secondary nucleus.
    Role of synergids
    Synergids consist of a filiform apparatus ( thickening of the cell wall facing the micropylar tip) that
    directs the movement of the pollen tube inside the embryo-sac.
