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:

HARD

List I List II
A) Epidermis I) Thin walled cells
B) Tapetum II) One celled thick

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:

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.
