Question

The generative cell of a pollen grain

• A. Has dense cytoplasm and a nucleus
  
• B. Is small and floats in the cytoplasm of vegetative cell
  
• C. Is spindle shaped
  
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above


Pollen grain
Pollen grain is a haploid structure that represents the male gametophyte because the male gametes are formed from them.
Development of male gametophyte
In anther of an angiosperm, the microspores undergoes mitotic division and produces two daughter cells namely generative cell and vegetative cell.
Generative cell
Generative cell is a small spindle shaped cell with dense cytoplasm and nucleus. It floats freely in the cytoplasm of the vegetative cell. It undergoes mitotic division to give rise to the two male gametes.
Vegetative cell
Vegetative cell is a large cell with an irregular nucleus and abundant food reserve.



Final answer
(d) All of the above
