Solution

The correct option is A

True


After fertilization, the generative nucleus divides to form two nuclei, one is called male gametic nucleus and other is sperm nucleus. So, as the pollen tube is growing, at its tip, there are three nuclei, male gametic nucleus, sperm nucleus and tube nucleus without a cell wall, sharing a common cytoplasm.
