Question

Which of the following cells divides to form two male gametes in angiospermic plant?

• A. Vegetative cell
• B. Generative cell
• C. Microspore mother cell
• D. Microspore

Hint:

Remember: Vegetative cell → tube formation, Generative cell → gamete formation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Male gametophyte development.
The pollen grain (microspore) has two cells: the vegetative cell and the generative cell.
Step 2: Division of generative cell.
The generative cell undergoes mitotic division to form two male gametes (sperms), which take part in double fertilization.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the cell that divides to form two male gametes is the Generative cell.
