1) Each anther comprises
four microsporangia
(pollen sacs)
2) Each microsporangium
contain large number of
diploid microsporocytes
/ microspore mother
cells (2n)
3) Each microsporocyte
undergoes meiosis to form
four haploid microspore
cells (n).
4) Each microspore then
undergoes mitosis, producing
a haploid male gametophyte
(immature pollen grain)
consisting only two cells tube
cell and a generative cell.
5) Immature pollen grain then is transferred from anther to
stigma and germinate.
6) The nucleus of generative
cell will divide by mitosis
to form two male
gametes. Pollen grains
now become mature
gametophyte.
7) Tube cell produces the
pollen tube, which
delivers male gamete to
the egg.
