Q. No.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. |
| 1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II and III are correct |
| 3. | I, II and III are correct | 4. | I, II and III are incorrect |

Some plants such as Viola (common pansy), Oxalis, and Commelina produce two types of flowers:
| Statement I: | Cleistogamous flowers which are similar to flowers of other species with exposed anthers and stigma |
| Statement II: | Chasmogamous flowers which do not open at all. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
| 2. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
