Question

Which cells do not participate in double fertilization in apples?
A) Tube cells
B) Synergids
C) Eggs
D) Central cells
E) Antipodal cells

Accepted Answer

Antipodal cells do not participate in double fertilization in apples. Double fertilization involves the fusion of one sperm cell with the egg cell to form the zygote and another sperm cell with the central cell to form the endosperm. Antipodal cells are located at the opposite end of the embryo sac and do not participate in fertilization.
