Arrange the following terms in the correct developmental sequence:

Pollen grain, sporogenous tissue, microspore tetrad, pollen mother cell, male gametes.


The correct sequence is –


Sporogenous tissues Pollen mother cell Microspore tetrad Pollen grain Male gametes


During microsporogenesis, the cells of the sporogenous tissue (which act as pollen mother cells), undergo meiotic divisions to form microspore tetrad containing 4 haploid microspores. As the anther matures, the microspores dissociate and develop into pollen grains. The pollen grains mature and give rise to male gametes.
