Question

Explain the functions of germ pores.

Answer 1

Germ pore is the place in pollen grains where the sporopollenin is absent. At this pore the pollen tube germinates. If this pore is absent pollen grains never be fertilised ir fused with female gamete.

Answer 2

Answer:

One or more thin areas present in the exine of pollen grains are known as germ pores. The germ pores are apertures in the exine layer of the pollen grain where the sporopollenin is absent. The germ pore helps in the formation of the pollen tube and the release of the male gametes during fertilisation.
