Microsporogenesis is best described as:
ADifferentiation of microsporangium walls
BFormation of pollen tube
CFormation of microspores from a pollen mother cell (PMC) via meiosis
DFormation of male gametes from microspore
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Formation of microspores from a pollen mother cell (PMC) via meiosis
**Microsporogenesis** = meiotic division of the PMC (diploid) → microspore tetrad (haploid). The microspores then mature into pollen grains.
