If there are 4 cells in anthers, what will be the number of pollen grains?

The correct option is B

16

The correct option is B:

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Pollen grains emerge from sporogenous tissues within the anther.
2. Each sporogenous tissue cell inside the anther has the ability to produce pollen grains.
3. Meiosis occurs in these pollen mother cells, resulting in the formation of a microspore tetrad, which develops into four pollen grains. As a result, four anthers produce 16 pollen grains.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

Presence of 3 cell in anther will produce 12 pollen grain.

Option C:

Presence of 1 cell in anther will produce 4 pollen grain.

Option D:

Presence of 2 cell in anther will produce 8 pollen grain.

Final answer: If there are 4 cells in anthers, then there will be 4 pollen grains.
