Which one of the following is surrounded by a callose wall?
Updated On: Jun 23, 2024
- male gamete
- egg
- pollen grain
- microspore mother cell.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Anther consists of microsporangia or pollen sacs. The archesporium gives rise to parietal cells and primary sporogenous tissue. Sporogenous cells divide to form pollen grain or microspore mother cells. They are diploid and connected by plasmodesmata. The microspore, mother cells consists of a callose wall inner to the cell wall. The mother cell then undergoes meiosis and forms tetrads of microspores. Finally the wall of the mother cell degenerates and pollen grains are separated.

Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants
Sexual reproduction in flowering plants takes place or happens when the production of a new organism occurs from two parents by making use of their gametes or sex cells. Both sexual and asexual reproduction can be found in plants. Nearly all flowering plants reproduce sexually. Flowers play a captious role in the process as it carries both the male and female reproductive parts commonly known as androecium and gynoecium respectively.
An individual flower comprises the following parts -
- Pedicle
- Calyx
- Petals
- Sepals
- Stamen
- Pistil
- Receptacle
