In dicots, the correct option is 2. This means that the pollen grains possess three germ pores. Germ pores are small openings on the surface of pollen grains through which the pollen tube grows during fertilization. These germ pores are essential for the pollen grains to germinate and penetrate the female reproductive organs of the flower. Dicots are a group of flowering plants that have two seed leaves (cotyledons) in their embryos. Unlike monocots, which typically have one germ pore, dicots have three germ pores on their pollen grains. These additional germ pores provide more opportunities for successful fertilization and ensure better chances of reproductive success for dicot plants.
