Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- This statement is not true. The tapetum is a layer of nutritive cells found within the anther of flowering plants, and its primary function is to provide nutrients and support for the developing pollen grains. It does not play a direct role in the dehiscence (opening) of the anther.
