Identify the correct relationship of an ovary and an ovule in angiosperms:
1. ovary is the enlarged apical portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization
2. ovary is the enlarged basal portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon fertilization
3. ovary is the enlarged basal portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into fruits upon fertilization
4. ovary is the enlarged apical portion of the pistil; the ovary contains ovules, which develop into fruits upon fertilization

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In a normal flower which opens and exposes the anthers and the stigma, complete autogamy is rather rare.
Statement II: Self-pollination can lead to inbreeding depression due to expression of deleterious recessive mutations.
 
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

Filiform apparatus:
1. is special cellular thickening present in the synergids which play an important role in guiding the pollen tubes into the synergid.
2. is special cellular thickening present in the synergids which play an important role in guiding the pollen tubes into the egg cell.
3. is special cellular thickening present in the egg cell which play an important role in guiding the pollen tubes into the synergid.
4. is special cellular thickening present in the antipodals which play an important role in guiding the pollen tubes into the synergid.
