Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Plant reproduction in angiosperms
 **Related Topics**: Male gametophyte development, pollen, pollination, fertilization
 **Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of plant reproductive structures
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question asks about the location of male gamete formation in angiosperms.
  We need to identify the structure where male gametes (sperm cells) develop.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Identify the male reproductive structure in angiosperms.
  Reasoning: Angiosperms are flowering plants. Their male reproductive structures are located within the flower.
 2. Determine the specific structure within the flower where pollen grains develop.
  Working: The anther is the part of the stamen (male reproductive organ) that produces pollen grains. Pollen grains contain the male gametes (sperm cells).
 3. Identify the correct option.
  Result: The correct option is 'Pollen grain' because male gametes are formed inside the pollen grain.
  Verification: The other options are incorrect because ovules contain the female gametes, the ovary houses the ovules, and the stigma is the receptive part of the pistil (female reproductive organ).
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Ovules contain the female gametes (egg cells).
B :x: The ovary is the part of the pistil that contains the ovules.
C ✓: Pollen grains are the male gametophytes. They develop within the anther and contain the male gametes (sperm cells).
D :x: The stigma is the receptive surface of the carpel that receives pollen during pollination.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing male and female gametes and their locations: Carefully study the structure of the flower and the role of each part in reproduction.
  2.Choosing ovary as the answer: Remember that pollen grains themselves contain the male gametes, not the ovary which houses the ovules.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Remember that pollen grains are the male gametophytes in angiosperms.
  2.Associate the anther (part of the stamen) with pollen grain formation and ultimately, male gamete formation.
