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). |

Assertion (A): | In angiosperms, seed formation is a dependable process of sexual reproduction. |
Reason (R): | In angiosperms, reproductive processes such as pollination and fertilisation are independent of water. |

Assertion (A): | Pollen grain exine has prominent apertures called germ pores where sporopollenin is absent. |
Reason (R): | Germ pore is the structure through which the germ tube or pollen tube makes its exit on germination. |
