The first mitotic division of the zygote in angiosperms divides the fertilized egg into a basal cell and a terminal cell where:
1. the basal cell degenerates and the terminal cell gives rise to both the embryo and the suspensor
2. the terminal cell degenerates and the basal cell gives rise to both the embryo and the suspensor
3. the terminal cell gives rise to most of the embryo and the basal cell produces the suspensor
4. the basal cell gives rise to most of the embryo and the terminal cell produces the suspensor

The generative cell of the pollen grain:
1.    is larger than the vegetative cell
2.    divides by meiosis to produce male gametes
3.    is never “free” of the vegetative cell

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In over 60 per cent of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at 2-celled stage.
Statement II: In the remaining species, the vegetative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes before pollen grains are shed (3-celled stage).
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
