Question

In gymnosperms, the pollen chamber represents
  1. A cell in the pollen grain in which the sperms are formed
  2. A cavity in the ovule in which pollen grains are stored after pollination
  3. An opening in the megagametophyte through which the pollen tube approaches the egg
  4. The microsporangium in which pollen grains develop

A

B
A cavity in the ovule in which pollen grains are stored after pollination

Verified by Toppr

In gymnosperms,the pollen chamber is cavity in the ovule in which pollen grains are stored after pollination. Within the pollen chamber, the generative cell nucleus divides to form two gametic nuclei and the tube cell elongates to form the pollen tube. The pollen tube penetrates the female gametophyte and the gametic nuclei (also known as sperm nuclei) pass through the tube. One of them unites with an oosphere (the female gamete) and forms the zygote (2n). Hence, option B is correct.
