Final answer:
The claim regarding the components of the male gametophyte is incorrect; it pertains to the female gametophyte or embryo sac in flowering plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the male gametophyte consists of 3 antipodals, 2 polar nuclei, an egg, and 2 synergids is false. The description given actually refers to the components of the female gametophyte, or more specifically, the embryo sac of a flowering plant. The male gametophyte in flowering plants is the pollen, which contains a much smaller number of cells.
In seed plants, the female gametophyte, after going through a process called megagametogenesis, consists of seven cells: three antipodal cells at one end, which later degenerate; one central cell with two polar nuclei, which contributes to the formation of the endosperm upon fertilization; two synergid cells that facilitate the entry of the pollen tube; and one egg cell positioned near the two synergids that becomes fertilized by one of the two sperm cells delivered by the pollen tube.
