Answer:
The pollen grain is the odd one.
Explanation:
Pollen grain: It carries the male reproductive cells (gametes) in a plant.
- It is a haploid microgametophyte.
- The main function is to transfer the male gametes to the female counterparts (ovules).
- Ovules are the female reproductive cells, they are present in the embryo sac
- This transferring of gametes facilitates sexual reproduction in plants.
Nucellus: This occupies the major part of the ovule, it is a nutritive tissue for the embryo.
- Nucellus encloses the embro sac
- They have food stored abundantly for the embryo.
- One of the cells acts as a megaspore mother cell in the micropylar region through differentiation.
Embryo sac: The embryo sac is also called a female gametophyte.
- It is an oval structure, it is present in the ovule of a flowering plant.
- It is formed when a haploid megaspore nucleus divides.
- It consists of two haploid nuclei and six haploid cells, with no cell wall.
Micropyle: The small opening which is present at the tip where the integument does not cover the nucellus.
- The pollen tube enters the ovule through a micropyle.
- It is present as a small pore above the hilum in the seed.
- It helps in absorbing the water at the time of germination.
- The root emerges at the time of germination of the seed through the micropyle.
Hence, the nucellus, embryo sac, micropyle are the parts of a female reproductive part whereas the pollen grain is the part of a male reproductive part.
