(number) functional microspore/s., A B C Pollen mother cell Meiosis 4, A B C Pollen mother cell Meiosis 1, A B C Megaspore mother cell Meiosis 4, A B C Megaspore mother cell Meiosis 1

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Each cell of the sporogenous tissue is capable of giving rise to a microspore tetrad. Each one is potential pollen or microspore mother cell (PMC). The process of formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell through meiosis is called microsporogenesis. The microspores, as they are formed, are arranged in a cluster of four cells-the microspore tetrad. As the anthers mature and dehydrate, the microspores dissociate from each other and develop into pollen grains.
