How many haploid nuclei are present in a mature pollen grain

  • One

  • Two

  • Three

  • Four


B.

Two

Mature pollen grain carries two haploid nuclei which moves into the cytoplasm of the synergid.

One of the male gametes moves towards the egg cell and fuses with its nucleus thus completing the syngamy. This results in the formation of a diploid cell, the zygote. The other male gamete moves towards the two polar nuclei located in the central cell and fuses with them to produce a triploid primary endosperm nucleus (PEN)
