Question

Pollen grain is the male gametes of plants
Options
A True
B False
Correct Answer
C
D
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This statement is not entirely accurate. A pollen grain is not itself the male gamete. It is the male gametophyte (the multicellular structure) that produces and contains the male gametes (sperm cells). When a pollen grain lands on a stigma, it germinates and grows a pollen tube through which the sperm cells travel to the ovule.

Hint

Is a pollen grain the actual sperm cell, or does it contain the sperm cells?
