The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each of the four statements regarding pollen grains and identify which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement A:** - **Statement:** "Intine of pollen grains is composed of pectocellulosic in nature." - **Analysis:** The intine is indeed composed of cellulose and pectin, which can be referred to as pectocellulosic. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement B:** - **Statement:** "Pollen grains develop from the haploid microspore mother cells in pollen sacs of anther." - **Analysis:** The microspore mother cell is diploid, not haploid. It undergoes meiosis to produce haploid microspores. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Evaluate Statement C:** - **Statement:** "Pollen grain is diploid, unicellular, multinucleate and oval shaped structure." - **Analysis:** Pollen grains are haploid, not diploid, and they are multinucleate (typically containing three nuclei). They are not unicellular as they develop from microspores. Hence, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Evaluate Statement D:** - **Statement:** "Pollen grains are generally spherical measuring about 20-25 mm in diameter." - **Analysis:** Pollen grains are generally spherical or oval but their diameter ranges from about 25-50 micrometers (not millimeters). Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: After evaluating all four statements, the only correct statement is **Statement A**. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is: **A. Intine of pollen grains is composed of pectocellulosic in nature.** ---
