(a)

Microsporogenesis During developmental phase of anther the cells of sporogenous tissue undergoes meiotic division to form microspore tetrad. The process of formation of microspore from pollen mother cell is called microsporogenesis. The microspores are formed and arranged in a group of four cells called microspore tetrad. Microspore develops into the pollen grain and represents the male gametophyte
