Question : In Pinus/gumnosperms, the haploid structure are

Answer»

megaspore, endosperm and embryo
megaspore, POLLEN grain and endosperm
megaspore, integument and root
pollen grain, leaf and root

Solution :(b) In gymnosperms, the megaspore (haploid) is first cell of FEMALE gametophyte and undergoes repeated divisions to form a multicellular female gametophyte, which because of abundant FOOD reserves, serves as endosperm. So, being PRODUCED before fertilisation,endosperm is haploid in gymnosperms.Microspored or pollen GRAINS are the first cell of the male gametophyte and are haploid in nature.
