The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "If a wrong type of pollen or pollen from a different species lands on the stigma, which of these is NOT formed?", we need to understand the process of fertilization and the role of pollen in plant reproduction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pollen and Stigma**: - Pollen grains are the male gametes in plants. They must land on the stigma of the same species for successful fertilization to occur. - If pollen from a different species lands on the stigma, it typically cannot fertilize the ovule. **Hint**: Remember that successful fertilization requires compatibility between the pollen and the stigma. 2. **Consequences of Wrong Pollen**: - When incompatible pollen lands on the stigma, it does not lead to fertilization. This means that the male gamete cannot unite with the female gamete (egg cell). - Without fertilization, the development of an embryo cannot take place. **Hint**: Think about the relationship between fertilization and embryo development. 3. **Formation of Structures**: - The egg cell is formed in the ovary before pollination occurs, so its formation is not affected by the type of pollen. - The embryo sac, which houses the egg cell, is also formed prior to pollination and is not directly affected by the type of pollen that lands on the stigma. **Hint**: Consider which structures are formed before and after pollination. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the question asks which structure is NOT formed when wrong pollen lands on the stigma, the answer is the **embryo**. The embryo can only form if fertilization occurs, which does not happen with incompatible pollen. ### Final Answer: The structure that is NOT formed when a wrong type of pollen lands on the stigma is the **embryo**.
