| 1. | Pollen sac | 
| 2. | The pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower | 
| 3. | The male gametophyte of angiosperms | 
| 4. | The part of a stamen that contains the pollen | 
| Assertion (A): | Flowering plants have evolved adaptations to promote cross pollination. | 
| Reason (R): | Most angiosperms are dioeceous plants. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) | 
| 3. | (A) is True, (R) is False | 
| 4. | (A) is False, (R) is True | 
| Statement I: | The pollen can recognize the pistil, whether it is of the right type (compatible) or of the wrong type (incompatible). | 
| Statement II: | Pollen of the same species will not be compatible and will not be allowed to germinate on the stigma. | 
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct | 
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect | 
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect | 
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct | 
| Assertion (A): | Pollen grain exine has prominent apertures called germ pores where sporopollenin is absent. | 
| Reason (R): | Germ pore is the structure through which the germ tube or pollen tube makes its exit on germination. | 
| 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 | 
| Assertion(A): | Majority of flowering plants produce unisexual flowers. | 
| Reason (R): | In unisexual flowers, pollen grains are likely to come in contact with the stigma of the same flower. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False | 
| Assertion (A): | The innermost layer of the wall of microsporangium is critical for the pollen grains in angiosperms. | 
| Reason (R): | Cells of this layer possess dense cytoplasm and generally have more than one nucleus. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is True; (R) is False | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False | 
| A: | Self-incompatibility allows only self-pollen to fertilise ovules. | 
| B: | Dioecy prevents autogamy but not geitonogamy. | 
| 1. | Only A is correct | 
| 2. | Only B is correct | 
| 3. | Both A and B are correct | 
| 4. | Both A and B are incorrect |
