• A. a - 2, b - 1, c - 4 and d - 3
• B. a - 4, b - 3, c - 1 and d - 2
• C. a - 3, b - 4, c - 2 and d - 1
• D. a - 1, b - 2, c - 3 and d - 4

Answer 1

The correct option is C a - 3, b - 4, c - 2 and d - 1

Anther is tetragonal in shape, bilobed and consists of two microsporangia each present at the corners of each lobe.

Microsporangium is circular in shape.

Pollen grains formed are generally spherical in shape.

The microspores of anther divides by mitosis and produce two daughter cells, small generative cell and large vegetative cell. Generative cells are spindle shaped.


(B) a - 3, b - 4, c - 2 and d - 1
