What are microspores?
Open in App
Solution
Microspores:
Sporophytes create microspores, which are tiny spores.
Male gametes are produced by these haploid spores.
Microspores are generated within the pollen sacs of the anther in flowering plants.
Mitosis results in the formation of a microspore mother cell.
Four pollen grains are produced by a Microspore mother cell, and these pollen grains are responsible for creating male gametes.
The microspores are naturally haploid.
