Q. What is the function of germ pore ?

A) Emergence of radicle
B) Absorption of water for seed germination
C) Initiation of pollen tube
D) Release of male gametes
Explanation

[Solution from source] Germ pores are thin areas of the exine where sporopollenin is absent, and the pollen tube grows out through them. The male gametes leave only later, from the tip of the tube inside the synergid, and the radicle comes out of the seed, not the pollen. Answer (3).
