A pollen grain in angiosperm at the time of dehiscence from an anther could be 2-celled or 3-celled. Explain. How are the cells placed within the pollen grain when shed at a 2-celled stage ?

In the 2-celled stage, the mature pollen grains contain a generative and vegetative cell, whereas in 3-celled stage one vegetative cell and two male gametes are present.
The generative cell floats in the cytoplasm of the vegetative cell.
