Q. Larger nucleus in a pollen grain is

A) Tube nucleus
B) Sperm nucleus
C) Generative nucleus
D) None of these
Explanation

Pollen grain is the mother cell of male gametophyte. Development of male gametophyte begins inside the micro sporangium. The microspore nucleus divide mitotically to form a smaller generative cell and a much large, vegetative cell (tube cell) the generative cell produces two male gametes, whereas, the vegetative cell form pollen tube after pollination. Pollen grain contains two cells, $i.e,$ tube cell and generative cell at the time of pollination.
