Describe the process of how four different embryo sac cells become differentiated

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: A major factor in determining the roles and identities of cells and nuclei within the embryo
sac is auxin. During mitosis, an auxin gradient forms along what will become the embryo
sac. The amount of auxin present determines what type of cell will be produced during
subsequent rounds of mitosis. For example, antipodal cells develop in areas where the
concentration of auxin is the lowest.
