B. Using the illustrations above, arrange the following statements to explain the process of
pollen formation in angiosperms. Use numbers 1 (first) to 7 (last).
Microgametogenesis
_4. The generative cell subsequently detaches from the pollen grain wall and is engulfed by the
vegetative cell forming a unique 'cell within a cell' structure.
5. Each microspore will form large vacuole displacing the microspore nucleus to an eccentric
position against the microspore wall.
_6. The nucleus undergoes first pollen mitosis which results in the formation of two unequal cells, a
large vegetative cell and a small generative cell each containing a haploid nucleus.
_7. The generative cell divides by mitosis to form two sperm cells completely enclosed within the
vegetative cell cytoplasm.
_8. No cytokinesis takes place forming a pollen grain having 3 haploid nucleus, 1 tube nucleus and
2 sperm cells for double fertilization.
Microsporogenesis
_9. A diploid sporogenous cells differentiate as microsporocytes (pollen mother cells or meiocytes)
which divide by meiosis to form four haploid nuclei.
_10. Distinct single-celled haploid microspores form after cytokinesis.
