Question

Site of meiosis in angiosperms is

• A. Meristem
• B. Spore mother cell
• C. Roots
• D. Petals or pollens

Answer 1

The correct option is B Spore mother cell

Site of meiosis in Angiosperms is the spore mother cell.

A typical anther contains four microsporangia. The microsporangia form sacs or pockets in the anther. The two separate locules on each side of an anther may fuse into a single locule. Each microsporangium is lined with a nutritive tissue layer called the tapetum and initially contains diploid pollen mother cells. These undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. The spores may remain attached to each other in a tetrad or separate after meiosis.
