In angiosperms, during the development of male gametophyte the generative cell divides and forms

Correct answer: C. Two male gametes

  • A. Two tube nuclei
  • B. Four microspores
  • C. Two male gametes
  • D. Eight microspores

Explanation

In angiosperms, the development of the male gametophyte involves the formation of pollen grains, which contain two cells: a tube cell and a generative cell. The generative cell divides mitotically to produce two male gametes, also known as sperm cells. These sperm cells are involved in fertilization. Option C is correct because it accurately describes the division of the generative cell. Options A, B, and D describe processes or products not related to the division of the generative cell in pollen development.

About Embryonic Development

Embryonic development begins after fertilization with cleavage and formation of the morula and blastula, followed by gastrulation and the establishment of germ layers. It includes organ formation, tissue differentiation and early growth, rather than the later increase in size associated with postnatal development.
