The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Pollen grains are produced in," we need to analyze each option provided: 1. **Understanding Pollen Grains**: - Pollen grains are haploid structures that carry male gametes. Their primary function is to transport these male gametes to the egg cell for fertilization. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Anther**: The anther is part of the stamen and is responsible for the production of pollen grains through a process called microsporogenesis. This option is likely correct. - **(b) Pollen sac**: Pollen sacs are structures within the anther where pollen grains are stored, not produced. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **(c) Filament**: The filament is a supporting structure of the stamen that holds the anther in place. It does not produce pollen grains, making this option incorrect. - **(d) Stigma**: The stigma is part of the female reproductive structure of a flower and is where pollen grains land for fertilization. It does not produce pollen grains, so this option is also incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **(a) Anther**, as this is where pollen grains are produced. ### Final Answer: Pollen grains are produced in **(a) Anther**.
