| 2. | Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are regulated by chemical compounds of pollen interacting with those of the pistil. |
| 3. | Some reptiles have also been reported as pollinators in some plant species. |
| 4. | Pollen grains of many species can germinate on the stigma of a flower, but only one pollen tube of the same species grows into the style. |

Water-soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are:

| 3. | anthocyanins | 4. | xanthophylls |
A cell at the telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at the telophase stage. There is no formation of a cell plate and thus the cell is containing more chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in:
1. polyploidy
2. somaclonal variation
3. polyteny
4. aneuploidy
