In artificial hybridization experiments, if the female plant produces unisexual flowers, emasculation:
1. | Must be done before maturity. |
2. | Must be done after maturity. |
3. | Must be done at maturity. |
4. | Is not needed. |
Consider the following statements regarding floral primordium:
I: | It is formed at the shoot apical meristem |
II: | The development of flowers is dependent on genetics, PGR, and environmental conditions. |
Of the two statements:
1. | Only I is correct |
2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect. |
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. |

2. | Anther and Stigma placed at different levels. |
3. | Self-incompatibility. |
4. | Production of bisexual flowers. |
The pollen tube releases the two male gametes first into:
1. The vicinity of the egg cell.
2. The vicinity of polar nuclei.
3. In the cytoplasm of synergids.
4. In the cytoplasm of antipodals.
