Q. Consider the following two statements and select the correct option.
Statement I: Each cell of sporogenous tissue is a potential pollen mother cell (PMC) or microspore mother cell.
Statement II : Each cell of the sporogenous tissue is capable of giving rise to a microspore tetrad.

Sexual Reproduction in Flowering Plants

Solution:

• As the anther develops, the cells of the sporogenous tissue undergo meiotic divisions to form microspore tetrads.
• As each cell of the sporogenous tissue is capable of giving rise to a microspore tetrad. Each one is a potential pollen or microspore mother cell (PMC).
