Question

During microsporogenesis, meiosis occurs in.

• A. Endothecium
• B. Microspore mother cells
• C. Microspore tetrads
• D. Pollen grains

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Microspore mother cells

Microsporogenesis is the formation of microspores in the form of tetrads, which later separate and are called pollen grains. Microspore mother cell $\left(2n\right)$ undergoes meiosis for the formation of haploid pollen grains formed first in the form of spore tetrads.
