Answer 1

The transfer of pollen grains to the female reproductive structure (pistil in angiosperms) is called pollination. This transfer can be mediated by the wind, in which case the plant is described as anemophilous (literally wind-loving). Anemophilous plants typically produce great quantities of very lightweight pollen grains, sometimes with air-sacs. Non-flowering seed plants (e.g., pine

Exine is a thick layer made up of sporopollenin. The exine is discontinuous in some regions where sporopollenin is absent. These regions mark the germ pores. Hence statement (
