Q62 / 200 · MHT CET - Medical 2026 (25 April Shift 1) · Biology
Given below are two statements.
Statement I - Inner sporogenous cell is formed from archesporial cell by mitotic division.
Statement II - Outer parietal cell formed from archesporial cell undergoes mitotic divisions to form anther wall layers.
In the light of above statements, select the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I - Inner sporogenous cell is formed from archesporial cell by mitotic division.
Statement II - Outer parietal cell formed from archesporial cell undergoes mitotic divisions to form anther wall layers.
In the light of above statements, select the correct answer from the options 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
In the development of an anther, the archesporial cell divides periclinally by mitotic division to form an outer primary parietal cell and an inner primary sporogenous cell. Thus, Statement I is correct.
The outer primary parietal cell undergoes successive periclinal and anticlinal mitotic divisions to form the multiple layers of the anther wall, which include the endothecium, middle layers, and tapetum. Thus, Statement II is also correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Answer: Both, statement - I and statement - II are correct.
The outer primary parietal cell undergoes successive periclinal and anticlinal mitotic divisions to form the multiple layers of the anther wall, which include the endothecium, middle layers, and tapetum. Thus, Statement II is also correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Answer: Both, statement - I and statement - II are correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
