**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Microspore and Megaspore Mother Cells:** - In flowering plants (angiosperms), the microspore mother cell (MMC) undergoes meiosis to produce microspores, which develop into male gametophytes (pollen grains). - The megaspore mother cell (MMC) also undergoes meiosis, but it produces megaspores, which develop into female gametophytes (embryo sac). 2. **Production of Male Gametophytes:** - The microspore mother cell produces four microspores through meiosis. Each of these microspores develops into a male gametophyte (pollen grain). ...
