The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for the forerunner of the male gamete. In plants, male gametes are produced within the pollen grains. 2. **Identify Key Terms**: The term "forerunner" refers to the precursor or the cell type that eventually develops into the male gamete. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Megasporangium**: This is involved in the formation of female gametes (ovules). - **Antipodal cell**: These are cells found in the embryo sac of the ovule and are not related to male gamete formation. - **Microspore mother cell**: This cell undergoes meiosis to produce microspores, which develop into pollen grains (male gametes). - **Ambrose sac**: This term seems to be a typographical error or misinterpretation; it does not relate to the male gamete formation. 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: The microspore mother cell is the correct answer because it is the precursor that divides to form the microspores, which then develop into pollen grains (male gametes). 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the forerunner of the male gamete is the microspore mother cell. ---
