The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Anther Culture**: Anther culture is a technique used in plant tissue culture where the anthers (the part of the stamen that contains pollen) are cultured to produce haploid plants. This process is significant for plant breeding and genetic studies. 2. **Identifying the Types of Cells in Anthers**: In the anther, there are various types of cells, including: - Prothallial cells of pollen grains - Generative cells of pollen grains - Cells of the anther wall - Exine of pollen grains 3. **Analyzing the Question**: The question states that diploid plants were reported with haploids in anther culture. This indicates that the haploid plants must have developed from cells that can give rise to haploids. 4. **Determining the Source of Haploids**: - Prothallial cells and generative cells are associated with pollen grains, which are typically haploid. - The cells of the anther wall are diploid. However, under certain conditions, they can undergo a process called "haploid induction," leading to the formation of haploid plants. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the question specifies that diploid plants were reported with haploids, the correct answer must be related to the diploid cells that can give rise to haploids. Thus, the haploids developed from the **cells of the anther wall**. 6. **Final Answer**: The correct option is **cells of anther wall** (Option C). ---

A dandelion produces seeds without meiosis or fertillisation. The adult sporophyte forms diploid, rather than haploid, megaspores that develop into ovules containing diploid, rather than haploid nuclei. One of the nuclei in each ovule becomes an egg and develops directly, without fertilisation, into an embryo that is genetically identical to its parent. This type of reproduction is called
