beans?
12. Continued self-pollination leads to inbreeding depression. Explain three devices, which
flowering plants have developed to discourage self-pollination?

Synergids
c) Mention the role played by various cells of embryo sac. d) Give the role of a filiform
apparatus.
14. Read the following and answer the questions given below:
Pollen-pistil interaction is the group of events that occur from the time of pollen deposition over
the stigma to the time of pollen tube entry into the ovule. It is a dynamic process which has
checks at several places for promotion or inhibition of pollen growth. Pollen-pistil interaction is a
safety measure to ensure that illegitimate crossings do not occur. Compatibility and
A
incompatibility of the pollen-pistil is determined by special proteins. The compatible pollens are
able to absorb water and nutrients from the surface of the stigma. They germinate and produce
IT
pollen tubes. Pollen tubes grow into the style. Their growth and path through the style are also
determined by specific chemicals.
(i) Which of the following parts of gynoecium determines the compatible nature of pollen?
UM
(a) Stigma & Style (b) Locule (c) Ovary (d) Thalamus
(ii) Which stage of the Pollen grain has to divide in the pollen-tube before reaching the
micropylar end ?
(a) Only 3-celled
YS
(b) Only 2-celled
(c) Both 2-celled and 3-celled
(d) neither 2-celled nor 3-celled
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of

YB
reason. Mark the correct choice as:

(a) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
OG
(d) If both Assertion and Reason are false.

(iii) Assertion: In angiosperms, the male gametophyte is the pollen grain.
Reason: Pollen grain contains stigma, style and ovary.

OL
(iv) Assertion: Geitonogamy is genetically similar to autogamy.

Reason: The pollen grains come from same plant.
(v) Assertion: More than one pollen tubes can enter an embryo sac.
BI
Reason: Double fertilization can occur by contribution of gametes from different pollens.
15.Read the following and answer the questions given below:

You are a botanist studying the process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants. You choose a
specific species of flowering plant, Rosa indica, commonly known as the Indian rose, as your
subject of study. The rose is a popular garden plant that reproduces sexually through a series of
intricate processes including pollination, fertilization, and seed development. The rose plant has
both male and female reproductive structures. The male reproductive organs are the stamens,
which produce pollen grains in the anthers. The female reproductive organ is the pistil, which
contains the ovary, style, and stigma. The ovary contains ovules, which develop into seeds upon
fertilization. Pollination occurs when pollen grains from the anther are transferred to the stigma,
often with the help of bees and other pollinators. Once the pollen grain lands on the stigma, it
germinates and forms a pollen tube that grows down through the style, allowing the sperm cells
to fertilize the egg cells in the ovules.
(i) The Pollen tube releases the two male gametes into the
(a) the cytoplasm of antipodal cells

(b) one male gamete in cytoplasm of synergids and other in cytoplasm of central cells
(c) both in the cytoplasm of central cells
A
(d) both in cytoplasm of one of the synergids
IT
(ii) Which among the following is incorrect with respect to vegetative cell of pollen grain ?
UM
(a) It has an irregularly shaped nucleus.
(b) It has an abundant food reserve.
(c) It is spindle shaped with dense cytoplasm
(d) It is bigger as compared to generative cell
YS
(iii) Entry of pollen tube through micropyle is
(a) chalazogamy (b) mesogamy

(c) porogamy (d) pseudogamy
YB
(iv) How many meiotic divisions are required to produce 200 male gametes and 200 female
gametes of Rose?
(a) 25/200 (b) 50/200

OG
(c) 200/200 (d) 250
(v) When dioecious plants are considered for artificial hybridization,this step would not be
relevant
OL
(a) Collection of pollen (b) bagging of female flower

(c) dusting of pollen on stigma (d) emasculation
