In an angiosperm, the structure that develops and becomes a pollen sac is called:
1. | Megasporophyll | 2. | Megasporangium |
3. | Microsporangium | 4. | Microsporophyll |
A typical angiosperm anther is:
1. Bilobed and polythecous
2. Unilobed and monothecous
3. Multilobed and monothecous
4. Bilobed and dithecous
The layers in the walls of the microsporangium that helps in the dehiscence of anther to release the pollen include:
I. | Epidermis |
II. | Endothecium |
III. | Middle layers |
IV. | Tapetum |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I, II, and III only |
3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, III, and IV |
A | B | C | D | |
1. | Epidermis | Endothecium | Middle layers | Tapetum |
2. | Epithelium | Endothelium | Middle layers | Tapetum |
3. | Endothecium | Epidermis | Tapetum | Middle layers |
4. | Epithelium | Endothelium | Tapetum | Middle layers |
Statement I: | This process is coordinated precisely with pollen differentiation, floral development, and flower opening. |
Statement II: | Anther dehiscence is the final function of the anther that causes the release of pollen grains. |
1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are True and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are True but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I. |
3. | Statement I is True but Statement II is False. |
4. | Statement I is False but Statement II is True. |
The outer hard layer of the pollen wall is made up of:
1. | Callose, which is easily digested by enzymes |
2. | Sporopollenin, which is resistant to all enzymes |
3. | Hemicellulose, which is difficult to digest by enzymes |
4. | Calcium pectate, which is easily digested by enzymes |
What is true about the vegetative cell in the pollen tube?
1. | It is smaller than the generative cell |
2. | It has an irregular shaped nucleus |
3. | It floats in the cytoplasm of the generative cell |
4. | It has a dense cytoplasm lacking food reserves |
At what temperature pollens can be stored for years in liquid nitrogen?
1. | 0°C | 2. | -100°C |
3. | -196°C | 4. | 4°C |
