  1. Through which cell of the embryo sac, does the pollen tube enter the embryo sac?
    1. Egg cell
    2. Persistent synergid
    3. Degenerated synergid
    4. Central cell
Correct Option: C

After entering the ovule, the pollen tube is attracted towards the micropylar end of the embryosac. The attractants are secreted by synergids or help cells. The pollen tube pierces one of the two synergids and bursts it. The synergid is simultaneously destroyed.
