1 anther usually contain 4 microsporangia / pollen sacs

Microsporangia is a plural term for _______________

Microsporocyte /
microspore mother cell

A diploid cell in microsporangium
that divide by meiosis to
give rise to 4 haploid microspores (tetrad)

Microsporocyte / microspore mother cell (2n) undergo meiosis to produce microspore (n)

Microsporocyte / microspore mother cell (2n) undergo meiosis to produce four microspores / tetrad (n)

Define tetrad

A group of 4 haploid microspores (immature pollen grain) produced at the end of the second meiotic division

Microspores (tetrad)

A small haploid spore from a heterosporous plant species that develops into pollen grain / male gametophyte

Male gametophyte in flowering plant is

pollen grain

Each microspores divide once by mitosis to form pollen grain.
Pollen grain contain 2 cells:
generative cell
tube cell

Each microspores divide once by mitosis to form pollen grain.
Pollen grain contain 2 cells:
generative cell
tube cell

Front image: 

Generative cell / generative nucleus

Generative cell will divide by mitosis to form 2 non-motile sperm cells

Tube cell / tube nucleus

Tube cell will produce pollen tube. Pollen tube will deliver sperms to the egg.

Pollen grain becomes mature after ___________

Pollen grain becomes mature after pollination

Pollination is

Pollination is transfer of pollen grain from the anther to a stigma

What happened to pollen when it landed on stigma?

- Tube nucleus will produce pollen tube
- Generative nucleus divide once by mitosis to produce 2 sperm nuclei (male gametes)
- Pollen tube will deliver sperms to the egg.
