Eight nucleated embryo sac is

  1. only monosporic
  2. only bisporic
  3. only tetrasporic
  4. any of these.

Answer

(4) any of these.

Solution

As per NCERT, in a majority of flowering plants one of the four megaspores is functional; its nucleus divides mitotically three times to form the 8-nucleate, 7-celled embryo sac (monosporic development).

∵ An 8-nucleate embryo sac is also formed when two megaspore nuclei take part (bisporic type, e.g. Allium) or when all four megaspore nuclei take part (tetrasporic type, e.g. Adoxa),

∴ an eight-nucleated embryo sac may be monosporic, bisporic or tetrasporic.

Answer: (4)
