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

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The flowers, pollinated by wind or water, produce an enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination.
Reason (R): Pollen grains coming in contact with the stigma is a chance factor in both wind and water pollination.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Pollination by water is quite rare in flowering plants, limited to about 30 genera, mostly monocotyledons.
Statement II: Water is a regular mode of transport for the male gametes among the lower plant groups such as algae, bryophytes and pteridophytes.
 
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

Self-incompatibility:
I: prevents inbreeding
II: is a genetic mechanism
III: prevents self-pollen from fertilising the ovules by inhibiting pollen germination or pollen tube growth in the pistil.
 
1. Only I and II are correct 2. Only I and III are correct
3. Only II and III are correct 4. I, II and III are correct

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Emasculation and bagging techniques are vital for the success of artificial hybridization experiments performed by plant breeders.
Reason (R): In such crossing experiments, it is important to make sure that only the desired pollen grains are used for pollination and the stigma is protected from contamination (from unwanted pollen).

During artificial hybridisation experiments:
I: If the female parent produces unisexual flowers, there is no need for emasculation.
II: The female flower buds are never bagged as well.
