Which one of the following statements is correct?
Hard outer of pollen is called intine
Sporogenous tissue is haploid
ENdothelium produces the microspores
Tapetum nourishes the developing pollen
When pollen tube enters through micropyle, the process is called
Porogamy

Outer wall of pollen grain is made up of
Cellulose
Sporopollenin
Pectocellulose
Lignin
B.
Sporopollenin
A pollen grain contains two-layered cell wall, the outer exine and inner intine. Sporopollenin is found in the exine of pollen grains, which is the most resistant biological material known, of microbial and chemical decomposition. Due to this, pollen grains are well preserved during fossilization. Intine of pollen grain is made up of pectocellulose.
Which of the following floral parts forms pericarp after fertilization?
Nucellus
Outer integument
Ovary wall
Inner integument
