The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the nature of male gametes in Ginkgoales, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Group**: Recognize that Ginkgoales is a group within gymnosperms. Gymnosperms are seed-producing plants that do not form flowers or fruits. 2. **Understand Heterospory**: Gymnosperms, including Ginkgo, are heterosporous, meaning they produce two types of spores: microspores and megaspores. 3. **Identify Sporophylls**: In Ginkgo, the structures that bear spores are called sporophylls. There are two types of sporophylls: microsporophylls (which produce microspores) and megasporophylls (which produce megaspores). 4. **Microspores Development**: Microsporophylls contain microsporangia, which produce microspores. These microspores develop into male gametes. 5. **Nature of Male Gametes**: In Ginkgo, the male gametes (which develop from microspores) are motile. This means they are capable of movement, typically through the use of flagella. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the male gametes in Ginkgoales are motile. ### Final Answer: The male gametes in Ginkgoales are motile. ---
