In dicots the pollen-grains possess : (1) two germ pores (2) three germ pores (3) four germ pores (4) one germ pore

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) three germ pores Explanation: Pollen grains of monocots have one opening, while pollen grains of dicots have three openings. Pollengrains can be monocolpate (having one germ pore called germinal furrow e.g., monocots), bicolpate (2 germ pores) and tricolpate (3 germ pores e.g., dicots).

Description : The floral part that receives pollen grains during pollination is - (1 ovary (2) style (3) stigma (4) ovules

Last Answer : (3) stigma Explanation: The stigma is the receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower. The stigma receives pollen at pollination and it is on the stigma that the pollen grain germinates. The style connects the stigma to the ovary.

Description : The floral part that produces pollen grains is (1) Sepal (2) Petal (3) Anther (4) Ovary

Last Answer : (3) Anther Explanation: The anther contains microsporangia. Each microsporangium contains pollen mother cells. These undergo meiosis, and produce pollen grains, which contain the male gametes (sperm). The pollen is released by the opening of the anther.
