  4. Both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion: Mostly in a tetrad, all microspores are free.
Reason: Compound pollen grain and pollinium are formed by grouping of microspores.

Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Explanation:

Mostly, all the four spores within a tetrad are completely isolated from one another and from the spores in other tetrads of the locale. Usually the microspores separate from one another shortly after meiosis. However, in some plants the spores tend to remain together in tetrads for longer period and develop into compound pollen grains. In many members of Orchidaceae and Asclepiadaceae all the microspores in a sporangium remains together to form what is called a pollinium.
