Reptilian embryos are protected from desiccation by a leathery shell. Similarly, sporophytes of both gymnosperms and angiosperms protect embryos within ________, and they also protect male gametophytes against desiccation using ________.

1. pollen grains; waxy cuticle



2. fruits; stamens



3. ovaries; filaments

4. seed coats; sporopollenin



5. ovules; waxy cuticle



I don't think the answer is 1 or 2. Please help
