The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the haploid, diploid, and triploid structures in a fertilized embryo sac, we can break it down into the following steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of the Embryo Sac**: - The embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants and contains several types of cells, including the egg cell, synergids, polar nuclei, and antipodal cells. 2. **Identifying the Ploidy of Cells in the Embryo Sac**: - The egg cell and synergids are haploid (N). - The antipodal cells are also haploid (N). - The central cell contains two polar nuclei, which are each haploid (N), thus making the central cell diploid (N + N) before fertilization. 3. **Fertilization Events**: - During fertilization, the egg cell fuses with a male gamete (which is also haploid), resulting in the formation of a zygote, which is diploid (2N). - The central cell undergoes triple fusion with another male gamete, resulting in the formation of the primary endosperm nucleus, which is triploid (3N). 4. **Summarizing the Ploidy of Structures**: - **Haploid Structures**: Synergids, egg cell, antipodal cells, and polar nuclei (before fertilization). - **Diploid Structure**: Zygote (after fertilization of the egg cell). - **Triploid Structure**: Primary endosperm nucleus (after fertilization of the central cell). 5. **Final Answer**: - In a fertilized embryo sac: - Haploid structures: Synergids, egg cell, antipodal cells, polar nuclei. - Diploid structure: Zygote. - Triploid structure: Primary endosperm nucleus. ### Conclusion: The correct answer to the question is: - **Haploid**: Synergids, egg cell, antipodal cells, polar nuclei. - **Diploid**: Zygote. - **Triploid**: Primary endosperm nucleus.
