Question

During microsporogenesis, meiosis occurs in ______.

Options

• Microspore mother cells

• Microspore tetrads

• Pollen grains

• Endothecium

Answer 1

During microsporogenesis, meiosis occurs in microspore mother cells.

Explanation:

During microsporogenesis, meiosis occurs in the microspore mother cells within the anther, producing four haploid microspores, which later develop into pollen grains. These mother cells are diploid and undergo meiotic division to form microspore tetrads.
