Question

Choose the incorrect statement in reference to the male reproductive organ of angiosperms., Sporogenous tissue of a young anther is composed of homogenous cells., A typical angiosperm has a bilobed and dithecous anther., The anther consists of four microsporangia located at the corners, two in each lobe., The tapetum helps in the dehiscence of the anther to release the pollen.

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

In a transverse section, a typical microsporangium appears near circular in outline. It is generally surrounded by four wall layers – the epidermis, endothecium, middle layers and the tapetum. The outer three wall layers perform the function of protection and help in dehiscence of anther to release the pollen. The innermost wall layer is the tapetum. It nourishes the developing pollen grains.
