  • Nucellus, megapore tetrad, megaspore mother cell, megaspore, female gametophyte

  • Megaspore tetrad, nucellus, megaspore mother cell, megaspore, female gametophyte

  • Nucellus, megaspore mother cell, megaspore tetrad, megaspore, female gametophyte

Primary endosperm nucleus (PEN) is formed by the fusion of

  • 2 polar nuclei + I synergid cell nucleus

  • I polar nucleus + I antipodal cell nucleus + I synergid cell nucleus

  • 2 polar nuclei+ I male gamete nucleus

  • 2 antipodal cell nuclei + I male gamete nucleus


C.

2 polar nuclei+ I male gamete nucleus

During the event of double fertilisation in angiosperms, the second male gamete fuses with the two haploid polar nuclei or diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell to form a triploid primary endosperm nucleus (PEN). This second fertilisation is called vegetative fertilisation.

  • formation of seeds by fusion of gametes

  • formation of seeds without syngamy and meiosis

Assertion : Endothecium layer of anther wall plays an important role in dehiscence of anther.

Reason : The presence of fibrous bands and differential expansion of inner and outer tangential walls of endothecial cells cause dehiscence of anther.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

  • If assertion is true but reason is false

  • If both assertion and reason are false
