I: | In over 60 per cent of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at this 2-celled stage. |
II: | In 40 per cent of angiosperms, the generative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes before pollen grains are shed (3-celled stage). |
Statement I: | Gynoecium of Papaver is multicarpellary and apocarpous. |
Statement II: | Gynoecium of Michelia is multicarpellary and syncarpous. |

3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
I: | syngamy requires one male gamete and one egg cell |
II: | triple fusion requires one male gamete, one egg cell and one polar nucleus |
A typical angiosperm anther in transverse section will show:
1. | two lobes, each lobe having two theca and each theca having two microsporangia |
2. | two lobes, each lobe having two theca and each theca having four microsporangia |
3. | two lobes, each lobe having two theca and each lobe having two microsporangia |
4. | two lobes, each lobe having two theca and each lobe having four microsporangia |
1. | Water is the most important pollinating agent for angiosperms |
2. | Pollination by water is seen in all aquatic flowering plants |
3. | Pollination by wind is more common amongst abiotic pollination |
4. | Very few flowers are pollinated by insects |
1. | Exine of pollen grains is made up of cellulose and pectin |
2. | Pollen grains of many species cause severe allergies |
3. | Pollens cannot be stored in liquid nitrogen |
4. | Tapetum helps in the dehiscence of anther |
