In angiosperms, a mature male gametophyte is formed from a pollen mother cell through Correct Answer One meiotic and two mitotic divisions

In angiosperms, a mature male gametophyte is formed from a pollen mother cell through one meiotic and two mitotic divisions.
Microsporogenesis in the anther involves the meiotic division of pollen mother cells, which each produce four microspores.
Mature pollen development consists of meiotic and mitotic divisions after meiotic division microspores are generated by microsporocytes and each microspore undergoes asymmetric mitotic division, referred to as pollen mitosis I (PMI), forming the vegetative cell and the generative cell.

Consider the following statements regarding the germination of pollen grain and choose the correct answer:
1. The content of the pollen is a true male gametophyte
2. The pollen tube comes out due to the protrusion of the exine through the germ pore
3. When the pollen grain has germinated, the pollen tube penetrates the stigma through the stigmatic papillae
4. Some stigmas have a continuous cuticle in which pollen tubes penetrate by enzyme action
Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. In angiosperms the pollination consists of transference of the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma either by self-pollination or by cross-pollination
2. Pollen grain is shed from the pollen sac in the two-celled stage
3. The exine of each microspore grows out into a tube, called the pollen tube

Consider the following statements regarding Xenia and choose the correct answer:
1. If a white variety (yy) is pollinated with pollen from a yellow variety (YY), one of the male gametes (Y) will unite with the egg (y) to produce a hybrid embryo (Yy) which will act as a heterozygote for yellow endosperm in the next generation
2. The second male gamete (Y) will unite with the two polar nuclei (y, y) and produces the primary endosperm nucleus (Yyy) which is triploid
3. If a yellow endosperm variety (YY) is crossed with pollen from a white grained variety, the grains produced are white like the pollen parent

Forest fires feed on decades-long accumulations of debris and leap from the tops of young trees into the branches of mature trees. Fires that jump from treetop to treetop can be devastating. In old-growth forests, however, the shade of mature trees keeps thickets of small trees from sprouting, and the lower branches of mature trees are too high to catch the flames. This paragraph best supports the statement that
