Q66 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (24 April Shift 1) · Biology
Given below are two statements.
Statement I - Intine is made up of cellulose and pectin.
Statement II - In most of the angiospermic plants, the pollen grains are shed from the anther at 2-celled stage.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:
Statement I - Intine is made up of cellulose and pectin.
Statement II - In most of the angiospermic plants, the pollen grains are shed from the anther at 2-celled stage.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:
- Correct answerABoth statement I and statement II are correct.
- BBoth statement I and statement II are incorrect.
- CStatement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
- DStatement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.
Solution
Statement I is correct as the inner wall of the pollen grain is called the intine, which is a thin and continuous layer made up of cellulose and pectin.
Statement II is correct as in over $60\%$ of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at the $2$-celled stage, which consists of a vegetative cell and a generative cell.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Answer: Both statement I and statement II are correct.
Statement II is correct as in over $60\%$ of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at the $2$-celled stage, which consists of a vegetative cell and a generative cell.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Answer: Both statement I and statement II are correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
