In angiosperms:
1. Pollen grains are motile but the egg cell is non-motile.
2. Pollen grains are non-motile but the egg cell is motile.
3. Both pollen grain and egg cell are non-motile.
4. Both pollen grain and egg cell are motile.
The only type of pollination which during pollination brings a genetically different type of pollen grains to the stigma is:
| 1. | Chasmogamy | 2. | Cleistogamy |
| 3. | Geitonogamy | 4. | Xenogamy |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding water-pollinated flowers:
| 1. | Pollination by water is rare and is seen in monocotyledons mostly |
| 2. | Pollen grains in most are covered by a mucilaginous covering |
| 3. | Produce nectar |
| 4. | Are not very colourful |
Whether a pollen grain will be able to germinate on a stigma is primarily decided by:
| 1. | The stage at which the pollen is shed |
| 2. | Recognition by the stigma |
| 3. | Maturity of the egg cell in the embryosac |
| 4. | Environmental conditions |
Syngamy in angiosperms results in the formation of:
| 1. | A haploid cell | 2. | A diploid cell |
| 3. | A triploid cell | 4. | A polyploid cell |
The outer hard layer of the pollen wall is made up of:
| 1. | Callose, which is easily digested by enzymes |
| 2. | Sporopollenin, which is resistant to all enzymes |
| 3. | Hemicellulose, which is difficult to digest by enzymes |
| 4. | Calcium pectate, which is easily digested by enzymes |
In over 60 % of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at:
| 1. | 2-celled stage | 2. | 3-celled stage |
| 3. | 4-celled stage | 4. | 1-celled stage |
The body of the ovule fuses with the funicle in the region called:
| 1. | Chalaza |
| 2. | Micropyle |
| 3. | Hilum |
| 4. | Nucellus |
