Which one of the following statements is not true?
Tapetum helps in the dehiscence of anther
Exine of pollen grains is made up of sporopollenin
Pollen grains of many species cause severe allergies
Stored pollen in liquid nitrogen can be used in the crop breeding programmes
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement to determine which one is not true. Let's evaluate each option:Option 1: Tapetum helps in the dehiscence of anther. - The tapetum is the innermost layer of the anther wall and provides nourishment to developing pollen grains. - It also plays a role in the formation of the pollen wall, but it is not directly involved in the dehiscence of the anther. - Therefore, this statement is not true.Option 2: Exine of pollen grains is made up of sporopollenin. - Sporopollenin is a highly durable polymer that makes up the exine layer of pollen grains, providing resistance to environmental stress. - This statement is true.Option 3: Pollen grains of many species cause severe allergies. - Pollen grains are known to cause allergies in many individuals, especially those with pollen allergies or hay fever. - This statement is true.Option 4: Stored pollen in liquid nitrogen can be used in the crop breeding programmes. - Pollen can be stored in liquid nitrogen for long-term preservation and used in crop breeding programs. - This statement is true.Therefore, the statement that is not true is Option 1: Tapetum helps in the dehiscence of anther.The correct option is Option 1.
