Question:medium

Which of the following structures in an anther develops into a pollen sac?

Show Hint

\[ \boxed{\text{Microsporangium → Pollen sac → Pollen grains}} \]
  • Sporogenous tissue
  • Microspore
  • Tapetum
  • Microsporangium
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Each anther contains four microsporangia, each of which develops into a pollen sac where microspores (pollen grains) are produced. The microsporangium wall consists of four layers (epidermis, endothecium, middle layers, and tapetum) and the microspore mother cells within it undergo meiosis to produce haploid pollen grains.
