The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Male Gametes in Angiosperms:** - In angiosperms (flowering plants), male gametes are produced within pollen grains. Each pollen grain typically contains two sperm cells. 2. **Identifying the Source of Male Gametes:** - The male gametes are derived from a specific type of cell known as the generative cell. This cell is crucial in the formation of the sperm cells. 3. **Formation of the Generative Cell:** - The generative cell originates from a microspore, which is formed through the process of meiosis in the microspore mother cell. During this process, the microspore undergoes an unequal division to form the smaller generative cell. 4. **Characteristics of Male Gametes:** - The male gametes produced by the generative cell are non-motile, meaning they do not have the ability to move independently. This is because there is no flagellated stage in the life cycle of angiosperms. 5. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that two non-motile male gametes in angiosperms are produced by the **generative cell**. **Final Answer: Generative cell.** ---
