Solution:
• In some plants, pollen grains are shed at 2-celled condition (a vegetative cell and a generative cell). In such plants, the generative cell divided and forms the two

• In plants which shed pollen in the three-celled condition, pollen tubes carry the two male gametes from the beginning.
