Pollen grains develop from which structures?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Microspores
In the anther, microspore mother cells undergo meiosis and produce haploid microspores. Each microspore develops into a pollen grain, which represents the male gametophyte in angiosperms. Egg cells, synergids, and antipodal cells are parts of the female gametophyte inside the ovule, so they cannot develop into pollen grains.
