Question

The production of male gametes in flowering plants is carried out by

• A. Ovary
• B. Anther
• C. Microsporangium
• D. Sporophyte
• E. Generative nucleus

Answer 1

The correct option is E Generative nucleus

1. An ovary is the part of the pistil that produces ovum.
2. Anthers are the part of stamens that produce pollen grains (male gametophytes)
3. Microsporangium in anthers gives rise to microspore mother cell.
4. The sporophyte is the condition in an alternation of generation in plants in which spore develops the gametophyte of a plant as in ferns.
5. The generative nucleus is one of the two nuclei in angiosperms that divide to produce two male gamete nuclei (male gametes) for double fertilization.

So the correct option is 'Generative nucleus'
