The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not true among the provided options, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option A**: "Tapetum helps in the nascence of anther." - The tapetum is a layer of cells in the anther that provides nourishment to the developing pollen grains. However, it does not play a role in the formation (nascence) of the anther itself. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 2. **Analyze Option B**: "Exine of pollen grain is made up of sporopollenins." - The exine is indeed the outer layer of the pollen grain, and it is primarily composed of sporopollenin, which is a robust and resistant biopolymer. This statement is true. 3. **Analyze Option C**: "Pollen Grain of Many Species Causes Several Allergies." - Pollen grains are known to be allergens for many individuals, causing allergic reactions such as hay fever. This statement is also true. 4. **Analyze Option D**: "Stored pollens in liquid nitrogen can be used in the crops." - Pollen can be preserved in liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures (-196 degrees Celsius) for future use in breeding programs and crop improvement. This statement is true as well. ### Conclusion: After evaluating all the options, we find that **Option A** is the statement that is not true. ### Final Answer: **Option A** is not true. ---
