Question

Pollen tube is formed so that

• A. So cross-pollination may occur
• B. So the egg cell can develop in the ovule
• C. So the male gametes can reach the ovule
• D. So the pollination can be done by bees

Answer 1

The correct option is C So the male gametes can reach the ovule

The pollen grain fallen on the stigma germinates into a pollen tube. The pollen tube grows through the style and reaches the ovule. The male gametes inside the pollen travel through the pollen tube and reach the ovule where it fertilises the egg cell.
