AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollen Grains**: - Pollen grains are the male gametophytes in seed plants. They are crucial for the process of fertilization. 2. **Structure of Pollen Grains**: - Pollen grains have two main layers: the outer layer and the inner layer. - The outer layer is composed of a substance called sporopollenin, which is known for its durability and resistance to degradation. 3. **Sporopollenin's Role**: - Sporopollenin is a highly resistant organic material that protects pollen grains from environmental factors, allowing them to remain viable for several months. 4. **Evaluating Statements**: - The first statement claims that pollen grains remain viable for several months due to sporopollenin covering. This is **correct**. - The second statement asserts that no enzyme can degrade sporopollenin. This is also **correct**. - The third statement states that pollen grains are well represented in fossil strata due to sporopollenin. This is **correct** as well. - The fourth statement claims that the pollen wall has cavities containing proteins. This is **incorrect**. The outer layer has pores for the formation of the pollen tube but does not contain cavities with proteins. 5. **Conclusion**: - The only wrong statement among the options provided is the fourth one, which states that the pollen wall has cavities containing proteins. ### Final Answer: The wrong statement is: "Pollen wall has cavities containing proteins." ---
