Important Questions on Reproduction in Lower and Higher Plants

HARD
When and where do tapetum and synergids develop in flowering plants? Mention their function.
MEDIUM
Draw a labelled diagram of a germinating pollen grain with at least four labellings.
MEDIUM

Assertion A: Xenogamy involves transfer of pollen grains from the flower of one plant to the stigma of another plant.

Reason R: This is the only type of pollination which brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.

The correct answer is:

EASY
Where are the generative cell present in the male gametophyte of an angiosperm? Mention the function of it.
MEDIUM

Match the following lists:

List I List II
A) Epidermis I) Thin walled cells
B) Tapetum II) One celled thick
C) Endothecium III) Inner most layer
D) Stomium IV) Fibrous thickening
  V) Meiosis

The correct match is:

MEDIUM

Assertion (A): Pollengrains are well preserved as fossils

Reason (R): The exine of pollen grains is made up of sporopollenin, which can withstand high temperatures, strong acids and alkali.

EASY
When pollen grain is shed at the 3-celled stage, name the cells it contains.
HARD
Which of the layers of microsporangium shows cells with dense cytoplasm and conspicuous nuclei?
EASY
If we explore anther wall from outside to inside then which sequence will be correct?
A- Endothecium
B- Tapetum
C- Epidermis
D- Middle Layer
EASY

HARD

Observe the diagram of the young anther given below:

 Which layer nourishes the developing pollen grain.

EASY
In Angiosperms, microsporogenesis and megasporogenesis:
MEDIUM

Assertion (A): In some plants the generative cell divides and forms the two male gametes during pollen tube growth in stigma.

Reason(R): In plants which shed pollen in three cell stage, the pollen tube will have two male gametes from the beginning.

The correct option among the following is:

EASY
During an excavation of soil, pollen fossil were retrieved from deepest layer of soil. The pollen grains remained fossils because:
