Step 1. In the fertilized embryo sac, a synergid is a haploid (n) cell of the egg apparatus that never fuses with anything, so it stays at the haploid level.

Step 2. The zygote is diploid (2n), formed by syngamy - fusion of one haploid male gamete (n) with the haploid egg (n).

Step 3. The Primary Endosperm Nucleus (PEN) is triploid (3n), formed by triple fusion of the second male gamete (n) with the two polar nuclei/secondary nucleus (2n together). …
