Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): The flowers produce enormous amount of pollen when compared to the number of ovules available for pollination.
Reason (R): Pollens are products of meiosis resulting in larger number of cells but egg is the product of mitosis resulting in fewer number of cells.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not explain (A)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False
4. (A) is False but (R) is True

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: In over 60 per cent of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at 2-celled stage.
Statement II: In the remaining species, the vegetative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes before pollen grains are shed (3-celled stage).

During double fertilisation in angiosperms:
I: One of the male gametes moves towards the egg cell and fuses with its nucleus thus completing the syngamy.
II: The other male gamete moves towards the two polar nuclei located in the central cell thus completing the triple fusion.

2. Only II is True
3. Both I and II are True

The central cell of the female gametophytes in angiosperms:
1. results in the formation of a diploid cell after double fertilisation.
2. has three haploid nuclei
3. after triple fusion becomes the primary endosperm cell (PEC) and develops into the endosperm.
4. after syngamy develops into an embryo
