Step-by-step explanation:

The binucleate pollen grain results from the microspore mitosis leading to formation of a generative cell and a vegetative (or « pollen tube ») cell, both included within the pollen cell wall; the generative nucleus divides to form the two sperm nuclei in the pollen tube.
