Question

Arrange the following terms in the correct developmental sequence: Pollen grain, sporogenous tissue, microspore tetrad, pollen mother cell, male gametes., Sporogenous tissue - pollen mother cell - microspore tetrad - pollen grain - male gamete, Microspore tetrad - Sporogenous tissue - pollen mother cell - pollen grain - male gamete, Sporogenous tissue - pollen mother cell - pollen grain - male gamete- microspore tetrad, Sporogenous tissue - pollen grain - male gamete - pollen mother cell - microspore tetrad

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The correct development sequence is as follows: Sporogenous tissue - pollen mother cell - microspore tetrad - pollen grain - male gamete. During the development of microsporangium, each cell of the sporogenous tissue acts as a pollen mother cell and gives rise to a microspore tetrad, containing four haploid microspores by the process of meiosis (microsporogenesis). As the anther matures, these microspores dissociate and develop into pollen grains. The pollen grains mature and give rise to male gametes.
