Which of the following statements about pollen grains is incorrect?
1. Pollen grains are part of the male gametophytes in flowering plants.
2. Each pollen grain contains two cells: the vegetative cell and the generative cell.
3. The outer wall of the pollen grain is called the exine, which is known for its high resistance to decay.
4. Pollen grains are formed in the megasporangium of the flower.
