Text solutionVerified

The male gametes of the angiosperm consist of two sperm cells within a pollen grain or a pollen tube. They are derived from a single cell called the generative cell, which is formed as the smaller cell by unequal cell division in the microspore after meiosis. The antheridial

cell is part of antheridium. The tube cell is the elongation of the pollen grain in the carpel through which the male gametes reach the ovule after falling on stigma by pollination.

So, the correct option is C. Generative cell.
