Cleistogamy is leadingover anthesis because

(1) pollination agent is not required

(2) it assures heterozygosity

(3) it favours insect pollination

(4) it allows xenogamy

Sporopollenin is a constituent of pollen exine.

It can be degraded by the action of 

(1) enzymes

(2) high temperature

(3) strong acids

(4) cannot be degraded

The pollen grains of rice and wheat lose their viability in ___ minutes of their release.

(1) 30

(2) 10

(3) 60

(4) 90

(1) One

(2) Two

(3) Three

(4) Four

What is the correct sequence of the formation of female gametophyte in angiosperms?

(1) Nucellus, megapore tetrad, megaspore mother cell, megaspore, female gametophyte

(2) Megaspore tetrad, nucellus, megaspore mother cell, megaspore, female gametophyte

(4) Megaspore mother cell, megaspore tetrad, megaspore, nucellus, female gametophyte

Primary endosperm nucleus (PEN) is formed by the fusion of

1. 2 polar nuclei + 1 synergid cell nucleus

2. 1 polar nucleus + 1 antipodal cell nucleus + 1 synergid cell nucleus

3. 2 polar nuclei + 1 male gamete nucleus

4. 2 antipodal cell nuclei + 1 male gamete nucleus
