| 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 |
| 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. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| 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. |

| Statement I: | The pollen can recognize the pistil, whether it is of the right type (compatible) or of the wrong type (incompatible). |
| Statement II: | Pollen of the same species will not be compatible and will not be allowed to germinate on the stigma. |
