Question:

Which of the following has filiform apparatus as a characteristic feature?

Synergids

Aleurone cell

Generative cell

Nucellar embryo

Solution:

The synergid cell wall forms a highly thickened structure called the filiform apparatus at the micropylar end, consisting of numerous finger-like projections into the synergid cytoplasm. The function of the filiform apparatus is that it helps in leading the pollen tubes in the synergids. So, the correct answer is option A.
