Are Synergids Haploid or Diploid?

Published in Plant Cell Biology 1 min read

Synergids are haploid.

According to the provided reference, the embryo sac contains several haploid cells: antipodal cells, synergids, the egg cell, and polar nuclei. This clearly indicates that synergids possess a haploid chromosome number.

Here's a breakdown of the information:

  • Embryo Sac Cells and Ploidy:

    Cell Type Ploidy
    Antipodal Cells Haploid
    Synergids Haploid
    Egg Cell Haploid
    Polar Nuclei Haploid
