What happens to the polar nuclei in an embryo sac?

SouravSeptember 1, 2024

Answer

The polar nuclei within the embryo sac fuse with a sperm cell during fertilization to form the triploid endosperm (3n). This endosperm will provide essential nutrients to the developing embryo and eventually become part of the seed’s food reserves.
