The germ pore in the pollen wall:
1. | is an aperture in the pollen intine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
2. | is the name of the nucleus of the microspore mother cell. |
3. | is formed where sporopollenin is located in the exine. |
4. | is an aperture in the pollen exine that allows the pollen tube to exit. |
The correct sequence of layers in the wall of an anther from outside to inside is:
1. | Tapetum – Middle Layers – Endothecium – Epidermis |
2. | Epidermis – Endothecium – Tapetum – Middle layers |
3. | Epidermis – Endothecium – Middle layers – Tapetum |
4. | Tapetum – Endothecium – Middle layers – Epidermis |
The outermost and innermost wall layers of microsporangium in an anther are respectively:
1. Endothecium and tapetum
2. Epidermis and endodermis
3. Epidermis and middle layer
4. Epidermis and tapetum

Which layer of the anther wall helps in its dehiscence?
1. | A | 2. | B |
3. | C | 4. | D |
I: | Each anther develops four microsporangia |
II: | Each microspore mother cell undergoes meiosis and produces four haploid microspores |
III: | Each microspore gives rise to a male gametophyte |
In the given diagram showing T.S. of a typical angiosperm anther, the cells of which part are most likely to undergo mitosis, that is not normal, due to which many of them become bi or multinucleate?
1. | 1 | 2. | 2 |
3. | 3 | 4. | 4 |
