    The polidy of the pollen grain in Cyperus is :

    A)  4n                                         

    B)  3n

    C)   2n                                        

    D)  n

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Microsporogenesis is the formation and differentiation of pollen grain (microspores). Pollen grains are haploid (n) structure because it is formed by microspore mother cell (2n) after meiotic division. In Cyperusout of 4 pollen in a tetrad, 3 degenerate and one remains alive (n), so one meiosis produces one haploid pollen in Cyperus.
