Draw and label the enlarged view of microsporangium of an angiosperm . State the function of its innermost wall layer.

Assertion : Endothecium layer of anther wall plays an important role in dehiscence of anther Reason : The presence of fibrous bands and defferential expansion of inner and outer tangential walls of endothecial cells cause dehiscence of anther.

State whether the following statements are true of false regarding androecium . I. The anther of all angiosperms has four theca. II. The outermost layer of the microsporangium is the tepetum. III. The distal end of the filament is attached to the stamen. IV. Pollen grains of the same species differ from each other in their morphologies.

Consider the following statements. (i) Polyspermy may bring about fertilisation of egg by more than one male nucleus or the supernumerary sperms may fertilise other components of embryo sac much as synergids or antipodals. (ii) In angiosperms, pollen tube is normally an unbranched structure which ususally persists after fertilisation. (iii) Intine is the inner, pectocellulosic layer of pollen grain wall which is destroyed during acetolysis. (iv) Exine layer of pollen grain comprises of an outer non-sculptured layer sexine and an inner sculptured layer tectum. Which of the following combinations of above given statements is correct ?

Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same: A typical anther is bilobed. It is a tetragonal structure consisting of four microsporangia. These microsporangia form pollen sac which on maturity gets filled with a pollen grains. Pollen grains represent the male gametophytes, their cell wall is very hard. Pollen grains of many species cause severe allergies which cause various diseases in human beings. Select the odd one out with respect to wall layers of microsporangium in flowering plants.
