An unfertilised embryo sac of angiosperm is composed of 7 cells, i.e. 7-celled and 8-nucleated. Among 8-nuclei, 6 are enclosed by cell walls and organised into cells, which are haploid in number (3 antipodal, 2 synergids and 1 egg cell) and a large central cell with 2 pollen nuclei.
How many haploid cells are present in mature female gametophyte of a flowering plant? Name them.
