generative fertilisation. Generative fertilisation is also called syngamy or true fertilisation. It gives rise
to a diploid zygote or oospore.
121. (c)
Sol. In free nuclear endosperm, the primary endosperm nucleus divides repeatedly without wall formation
to produce a large number of free nuclei, e.g., maize, sunflower, Capsella, etc. In cellular endosperm,
every division of the primary endosperm nucleus is followed by cytokinesis. Therefore, endosperm
becomes cellular from the very beginning, e.g., balsam, Datura, Petunia. Helobial endosperm occurs
in order Helobiales of monocots. The endosperm is of intermediate type between cellular and nuclear
types, e.g., Asphodelus.
122. (c)
Sol. Fusion of egg with male gamete is called syngamy. The point at which funicle touches the ovule is
hilum.

Sol. Stigma is the terminal receptive part of the pistil which functions as landing platform for the pollen
grains. It also determines the compatibility of the pollen grains.
124. (a)
Sol. Monoecious plant species have separate male and female flowers on the same plant. Some examples
of monoecious plants are maize, birch, coconut and cucurbits. The plants in which male and female
flowers are borne on separate individual are referred to as dioecious plants, e.g., papaya, date palm.

126. (a)
Sol. The plants in which male and female flowers are borne on separate individuals, are referred to as
dioecious plants, θ.g., papaya, date palm. Dioecious plants exhibit xenogamy.
127 (a)
Sol. The synergids have special cellular thickenings at the micropylar tip called filiform apparatus, which
play an important role in guiding the pollen tube into the synergid.
128. (d)
Sol. Given figure represents an anatropous ovule where A, B,C and D represent micropyle, nucellus,
embryo sac and chalaza respectively.
129. (b)
Sol. A pollen grain with pollen tube carrying male gametes represents mature male gametophyte. It is 3 -
celled (one tube cell + 2 male gametes) and 3-nucleated (one tube nucleus + two nuclei of each male
gamete) structure.
130. (c)
Sol. One or more thin areas present in the exine of pollen grains are known as germ pores. The germ
pores are apertures in the exine layer of the pollen grain where the sporopollenin is absent. The germ
pore helps in the formation of the pollen tube and the release of the male gametes during fertilisation.
There are usually three germ pores in dicots (tricolpate) and one in monocots (monocolpate).
131. (c)
Sol. Each pollen mother cell (PMC), by a meiotic division, gives rise to a group of four haploid microspores.
Thus, 16 pollen mother cells undergo meiotic divisions to produce 64 pollen grains.
132. (b)
Sol. Tapetum secretes Ubisch bodies which get covered with sporopollenin and so increase thickness of
exine of pollen grain wall. Tapetum provides nourishment to developing microspores. It also secretes
callase enzyme which dissolves callose substances by which four pollens of a pollen tetrad are united,
hence separating microspores or pollens of a tetrad.
133. (c)
Sol. In some seeds, the endosperm persists in the seed as food storage tissue. Such seeds are called
endospermic or albuminous, e.g., castor, maize, wheat, barley, rubber, coconut. In others, the
endosperm is completely eaten up by growing embryo. The food for later development of embryo is

anandmani.com anand_mani16 t.me/anandmani001 support@fundabox.in

 then stored in cotyledons which become massive. Such seeds are non-endospermic or ex-
albuminous, e.a., pea, aram, bean, aroundnut.
134. (a)
Sol. During double fertilisation in angiosperms, one male gamete fuses with the egg to form the diploid
zygote (syngamy or generative fertilisation). The diploid zygote finally develops into embryo. The other
male gamete fuses with the two polar nuclei (or secondary nucleus) to form the triploid primary
endosperm nucleus, PEN (triple fusion or vegetative fertilisation). Double fertilisation ensures that the
nutritive tissue is formed before the zygote starts cleaving so that the energy spent on the formation
of endosperm does not go waste in case the fertilisation fails. Angiosperms are, therefore, economical
and more specialised as compared to gymnosperms where a large nutritive female gametophyte is
formed long before fertilisation.
135. (c)
Sol. A flower is a modified condensed shoot specialised to carry out the function of sexual reproduction in
angiosperms. Like a branch, it arises in the axil of a small leaf like structure called bract. The
receptacle (thalamus or torus) of a flower supports all the floral appendages (i.e., sepals, petals,
stamens and carpels). The receptacle consists of several crowded nodes which are separated by
condensed internodes. The fertile leaves of the shoot become microsporophylls (stamens) and
megasporophylls (carpels) which bear anthers and ovules respectively. The anthers produce pollen
grains and the ovules possess eggs.

136. (d)
Sol. Filiform apparatus is present at the micropylar end of each synergid. Pollen tube is attracted by
secretions of filiform apparatus hence, synergids receive the discharge from pollen tube.
137. (b)
Sol. Pollen grains are well preserved as fossils because of the presence of sporopollenin in their exine.
The generative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes.
138. (c)
Sol. Integument is a prefertilised structure surrounding nucellus and provides protection to it. Integuments
after fertilisation get transformed into seed coats, outer testa and inner tegmen.

140. (a)
Sol. In most of the water pollinated species pollen grains are protected from wetting by a mucilaginous
covering.
141. (d)
Sol. Pollination does not guarantee the transfer of the right type of pollen (compatible pollen). If the pollen
is of the wrong type (incompatible type), then the pistil rejects the pollen by preventing pollen
germination on the stigma or pollen tube growth in the style.

diploid structure.
143. (c)
Sol. In anemophily, pollen reach to the stigma through hit or miss affair. As a result, very few pollen grains
reach to the proper stigma. Thus, greater wastage of pollens occurs through anemophily.

Sol. Xenogamy is the transfer of pollen grains from anther of a flower to the stigma of another flower
produced on different plant which belongs to the same species.
145. (a)
Sol. In syngamy one male gamete fuses with the egg or oosphere to form a zygote. In triple fusion, second
male gamete fuses with the diploid secondary nucleus of the central cell to form a triploid primary
endosperm cell.
146. (a)
Sol. During development of female gametophyte (megagametogenesis), the functional megaspore (n)
behaves as the first cell of female gametophyte. The cell enlarges and undergoes three free nuclear
mitotic divisions. The first mitotic division of this megaspore nucleus produces 2-nucleate embryo sac.
The two nuclei move to the opposite poles and divide twice forming 4 -nucleate and ultimately 8 -
nucleate structure.
147. (d)
Sol. Secondary nucleus is a diploid structure while egg cell, antipodal and synergid are haploid structures.

Sol. Syngamy is the complete and permanent fusion of male and female gametes to form the zygote. In
Cladophora reproduction is isogamous. Isogamy, shown in figure (X) involves the fusion of gametes
which do not differ morphologically but may be different physiologically. Such gametes are called
isogametes. In humans, anisogamy is observed which involves fusion of gametes that differ in size or
motility, as seen in figure (Y). The common type of anisogamy is oogamy, which involves fusion of
large immotile female gamete and small motile male gamete.
