Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Question:

Find the odd one out among the following structures?

Options:

Tapetum

Microspore

Megaspore

Generative cell

Correct Answer:

Megaspore

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Megaspore  

Based on the structures listed, Megaspore is the odd one out.

  • Tapetum, Microspore, and Generative cell are all directly related to the male reproductive parts of a flowering plant. The tapetum nourishes the microspores (which are young pollen grains), and the generative cell is a key component inside the mature pollen grain.

  • Megaspore, on the other hand, is the spore that develops into the female gametophyte (embryo sac) within the ovule of the flower.
