Tapetum :
I. | Is a layer of nutritive cells that are found within the microsporangium. |
II. | The cells are usually bigger and normally have more than one nucleus per cell because mitosis is not normal in them. |
III. | Helps in pollen wall formation, transportation of nutrients to the inner side of the anther, synthesis of callose enzyme for separation of microspore tetrads. |
Of the above statements, the correct ones are:
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
