Which of the following has proved helpful in preserving pollen as fossils?

  1. Pollenkitt
  2. Cellulosic intine
  3. Oil content
  4. Sporopollenin

Answer

(4) Sporopollenin

Solution

As per NCERT, the hard outer layer of the pollen grain, the exine, is made up of sporopollenin, one of the most resistant organic materials known.

⇒ It can withstand high temperatures and strong acids and alkali, and no enzyme that degrades it is so far known.

∴ Pollen grains are well preserved as fossils because of the presence of sporopollenin.
