The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statements regarding androecium are true or false, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: The anther of all angiosperms has four theca.** - **Analysis:** This statement is **False**. The anther of most angiosperms typically has two theca (pollen sacs), not four. Some species may have variations, but the general rule is two theca. - **Conclusion:** **False** 2. **Statement II: The outermost layer of the microsporangium is the tepetum.** - **Analysis:** This statement is also **False**. The tepetum is actually the innermost layer of the microsporangium, which provides nourishment to developing pollen grains. The outermost layer is called the epidermis. - **Conclusion:** **False** 3. **Statement III: The distal end of the filament is attached to the stamen.** - **Analysis:** This statement is **True**. The distal end of the filament supports the anther, which is part of the stamen. Therefore, it is correct to say that the filament is attached to the stamen. - **Conclusion:** **True** 4. **Statement IV: Pollen grains of the same species differ from each other in their morphologies.** - **Analysis:** This statement is **False**. Pollen grains of the same species typically have a uniform morphology. While there can be minor variations due to environmental factors, they are generally consistent in structure within a species. - **Conclusion:** **False** ### Summary of Statements: - I: False - II: False - III: True - IV: False ### Final Answer: The correct option that summarizes these evaluations is: **False, False, True, False**.

A typical angiosperm anther is bilobed with each lobe having two theca. c. Often a longitudinal groove runs lengthwise separating the theca. d.
