Cyperus-like formation of the pollen grain is
Very common
Similar to the type of microsporogenesis commonly met with in Angiosperms
Similar to the formation of female gametophytes in a majority of Angiosperms
Induced artificially by removing the anthers.
Answers (1)
The formation of pollen grains in Cyperus and the formation of the female gametophyte in a majority of angiosperms, including Cyperus, share some similarities. Both processes are part of the reproductive cycle of plants and involve the production of specialized structures for sexual reproduction. In angiosperms, the female gametophyte, also known as the embryo sac, develops within the ovule. The process begins with a diploid megaspore mother cell in the ovule undergoing meiosis to produce four haploid megaspores. Typically, three of these megaspores degenerate, and the remaining one develops into the female gametophyte. In the case of pollen grain formation in Cyperus and other angiosperms, it begins with the development of a diploid microspore mother cell within the anther. The microspore mother cell undergoes meiosis to produce four haploid microspores. These microspores then undergo a series of mitotic divisions and differentiation to form the pollen grain. Both processes involve the production of specialized structures that contribute to the fusion of male and female gametes, leading to the formation of seeds and subsequent plant development.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
