Male gametophyte in angiosperms produces:

Correct answer: C. Two sperms and a vegetative cell

  • A. Single sperm and two vegetative cells
  • B. Three sperms
  • C. Two sperms and a vegetative cell
  • D. Single sperm and a vegetative cell.

Explanation

The protoplast of the male gametophyte divides mitotically to produce two unequal cells - a small generative cell and a large vegetative cell. The generative cell divides later into two non­motile male gametes (or sperms ). Thus, the male gametophyte in angiosperms produces two sperms and a vegetative cell. The vegetative cell, later on, grows to produce a pollen tube. FTB page# 182-184 STB page# 172-174
