Read the following statements (with respect to angiosperms):

(a) Embryo sac formation is preceded by meiosis.

(b) Pollen grains germinate on the ovule and the resulting pollen tube grows through the tissues of stigma and style.

(c) A large group of plants occurring in a wide range of habitats.

(d) Synergids, antipodals, and PEN degenerate after fertilization.

How many of the above statement(s) is/are wrong?

(1) Two

(2) Three

(3) Four               

(4) One

Read the following statements

a. Sporophyte is the dominant, photosynthetic, independent phase of the plant.

b. Highly reduced female gametophyte as embryosac is present in their ovule.

c. The pollen grains are carried in air currents and come in contact with the opening in the ovules.
