Question

Male gametes are formed by

• A. Pollen cell
• B. Generative cell
• C. Pollen tube cell
• D. Pollen mother cell

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Generative cell

The pollen grain is the male gametophyte. The cell in the pollen grain divides unequally to form two cells called as tube cell and generative cell. The tube cell provides nourishment. The generative cell divides to form the two male gametes. These two male gametes travel along with the pollen tube towards the female gametophyte

So, the correct answer is 'Generative cell'
