Regarding a typical monosporic embryosac in the angiosperms:
I: Three cells are grouped together at the micropylar end and constitute the egg apparatus.
II: The egg apparatus, in turn, consists of two antipodals and one egg cell.
III: The antipodals have special cellular thickenings at the micropylar tip called filiform apparatus, which play an important role in guiding the pollen tubes into the synergid.
IV: Three cells are at the chalazal end and are called the Synergids.
1. Only I is correct
2. Only I and IV are correct
3. Only II and III are correct
4. Only III is correct
