The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is haploid, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Haploid and Diploid**: - Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes (n). - Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (2n). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Style**: The style is part of the female reproductive structure of a flower. It is made up of diploid cells, as it is derived from the ovary which is diploid. Therefore, the style is **not haploid**. - **Ovary**: The ovary is also part of the female reproductive structure and contains diploid cells. It develops into the fruit after fertilization. Thus, the ovary is **not haploid**. - **Synergids**: Synergids are specialized cells located near the egg cell in the embryo sac of the ovule. They are formed from the megaspore and contain a haploid set of chromosomes. Therefore, synergids are **haploid**. - **Primary Endosperm Nucleus**: The primary endosperm nucleus is formed after the fertilization of the central cell by a male gamete. It is triploid (3n) because it results from the fusion of one male gamete with two polar nuclei. Thus, the primary endosperm nucleus is **not haploid**. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the given options, the only haploid structure is the **synergids**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **synergids**. ---
