| LIST-I | LIST-II |
|---|---|
| Flower parts | Functions |
| A. Tapetum | I. Landing platform for the pollen grains |
| B. Synergids | II. Nourishes the developing pollen grains |
| C. Endosperm | III. Guiding the pollen tubes |
| D. Stigma | IV. Provide nutrition to the developing embryo |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
(A) Tapetum — this matches (II) Nourishes the developing pollen grains. The tapetum is the innermost wall layer of the anther. It lies next to the pollen sacs, so it can pass food to the developing pollen grains.
(B) Synergids — this matches (III) Guiding the pollen tubes. The synergids have the filiform apparatus at their tip. It guides the pollen tube into the synergid.
(C) Endosperm — this matches (IV) Provide nutrition to the developing embryo. The endosperm is the food tissue formed after triple fusion. The growing embryo feeds on it.
(D) Stigma — this matches (I) Landing platform for the pollen grains. The stigma is the top of the pistil. It receives the pollen, and the pollen grains germinate on it.
