Question

Filiform apparatus are found in
(a) antipodal cell
(b) egg cell
(c) secondary nucleus
(d) synergids

Answer 1

Answer:

Filiform apparatus are found in (d) synergids.

Explanation:

Synergids are known to be parts of an egg apparatus that mainly aids the nucleus of the pollen grains to reach the egg for the process of fertilization.

The filiform apparatus are found near the micropylar end and has multiple finger-like structures projecting into the cytoplasm of the synergids.

Answer 2

Answer:

Filiform apparatus are found in d) synergids .

Explanation:

A vastly  thickened structure of synergids cell at the micropylar end is called the  filiform apparatus . It consists of numerous finger like projections into synergid cytoplasm.

These cells are necessary for pollen tube guidance in ovule. Filiform apparatus helps in leading the pollen tube of gametophyte to gain access to the embryo sack.
