Question:
Draw a well-labeled diagram of sectional view of male gametophyte/microspore of an angiosperm and write the functions of any two parts labelled. (Any four labels).
Draw a well-labeled diagram of sectional view of male gametophyte/microspore of an angiosperm and write the functions of any two parts labelled. (Any four labels).
Show Hint
The male gametophyte plays a vital role in sexual reproduction in angiosperms by delivering sperm cells to the ovule.

\label{fig:male_gametophyte}
\end{figure}
Diagram: Microspore with labeled parts (e.g., vegetative nucleus, generative nucleus, exine, intine).
Functions:
Vegetative nucleus: Controls pollen tube growth.
Generative nucleus: Divides to form two male gametes for fertilization.

- Why are restrictions imposed on MTP in India? Up to how many weeks or trimesters, is MTP considered relatively safe for a female, if necessary to perform, by a medical practitioner?
- Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: In recombinant DNA technology, restriction enzymes are used as they recognize and cut DNA within a specific recognition sequence. BamHI is one such restriction enzyme which binds at the recognition sequence 5’-G↓GATCC-3’ and cleaves this sequence between G and G on each strand, whereas AluI binds at the recognition sequence 5’-AG↓CT-3’ and cleaves these sequences between G and C on each strand.
If Alu I is used to cut the given DNA strand, how many DNA fragments would be formed? Write the sequence of each fragment formed with its polarity.
