The arrangement of the nuclei in a normal embryo sac in the dicot plants is

  • 2+4+2

  • 3+2+3

  • 2+3+3

  • 3+3+2

Solution

B.

3+2+3

In angiosperms (dicots), the Polygonum type of embryosac is most common. In this embryosac, the arrangement of the nuclei is 3+2+3 i.e., 3 in antipodal cells, 2 as polar nuclei (which later fuse and form a diploid secondary nucleus); and 3 in egg appratus (2 in synergids and 1 in egg cell).
