During microsporogenesis, meiosis occurs in
(A) Endothecium
(B) Microspore mother cells
(C) Microspore tetrads
(D) Pollen grains

A

Endothecium

B

Microspore mother cells

C

Microspore tetrads

D

Pollen grains

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Along with development of stamen, pollen mother cells of male gametophyte cells perform meiosis and forms pollen tetrad. Pollen tetrad dries up with endothecium and released in pollen grains. Endothecium is a layer located between epidermis and middle layer and it is made up of columnar cells
