In about 40 per cent of angiosperms:
1. pollens are shed at two-celled stage
2. the generative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes
before pollen grains are shed
3. the vegetative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes
before pollen grains are shed
4. pollens do not make gametes at all

Xenogamy:
I: is the transfer of pollen grains from anther to the stigma of a different plant.
II: is the only type of pollination which during pollination brings genetically different types of pollen grains to the stigma.
III: is cross pollination.

Statement II: Chasmogamous flowers which do not open at all.
