Mark the wrongly matched pair
1. Amaranthus - Causes pollen allergy
2. Pollen banks - Store pollen at -196°C
3. Pea - Pollens are viable for only 30 minutes
4. Pollen grains - Rich in nutrients
In the following figure identify the parts labeled as A and B and select the option stating true features of them.
A B

2. It is found at the micropylar end of the ovule
3. Its cells are haploid
4. It contains single egg cell
In an embryo sac, the cells that degenerate after
fertilisation are
(1) Synergids and primary endosperm cell

(4) Egg and antipodals
Largest cell in embryo sac of angiosperm is
1. Synergid cell
2. Egg
3. Antipodal cell
4. Central cell
