Question

In Pinus, male gametes are produced in the pollen tube by the division of which of the following cells?

• A. Body cell
• B. Stalk cell
• C. Generative cell
• D. Vegitative cell

Answer 1

The correct option is A Body cell

In the higher plants, the generative or the body cell divides to form the male gametes. Pinus plant shows some advanced characters as the body cell divides to form the male gametes. as the pollen tube approaches the ovule, the body cell division takes place and the male gametes produced are non-motile.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
