Which one of the following statements is wrong?
-
- When pollen is shed at two-celled stage, double fertilization does not take place.
- Vegetative cell is larger than generative cell.
- Pollen grains in some plants remain viable for months.
- Intine is made up of cellulose and - pectin.
Correct Option: A
In over 60 per cent of angiosperms, pollen grains are shed at cell 2-celled stage. In the remaining species the generative cell divides mitotically to give rise to the two male gametes before pollen grains are shed (3-celled stage.)
