The given diagram shows a mature dehisced anther.
 
 
Statement I:  This process is coordinated precisely with pollen differentiation, floral development, and flower opening.
Statement II:  Anther dehiscence is the final function of the anther that causes the release of pollen grains. 
       
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.
3. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

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
