Question:

Match the  Column I with Column II.

Column I. Column II.
A. Antipodal 1. 3n
B. Central cell 2. 2n
C. MMC 3. (n + n)
D. Endosperm 4. n
Options:

A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4

A - 4, B - 3, C - 1, D - 2

A - 1, B - 2, C - 4, D - 3

A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1

Correct Answer:

A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4)- A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1

Column I. Column II.
A. Antipodal 4. n
B. Central cell 3. (n + n)
C. MMC 2. 2n
D. Endosperm 1. 3n

 A. Antipodal - 4. n
Antipodal cells are part of the female gametophyte in flowering plants and are typically haploid (n).

B. Central cell - 3. (n + n)
The central cell in the embryo sac of flowering plants contains two haploid nuclei (n + n) before fertilization.

C. MMC (Megaspore Mother Cell) - 2. 2n
The Megaspore Mother Cell (MMC) is diploid (2n) and undergoes meiosis to form haploid megaspores.

D. Endosperm - 1. 3n
The endosperm in flowering plants is typically triploid (3n), formed by the fusion of a sperm nucleus (n) with two polar nuclei (n + n) during fertilization.
